Title: Assessing the Sanitary Sewer Infrastructure
Abstract: In this age of technology and scientific advancement, we are coming face-to-face with a crisis that cannot be challenged by technology alone. In large cites and small towns across America, sanitary sewers are failing, and they're failing at an alarming rate. Whether they are failing because of neglect, lack of adequate funding, or sub-standard construction practices, the rate of deterioration still out-paces the resources to fix them. The facts are plainly clear in a recent report card issued by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), which ranked America's wastewater infrastructure lower than every other infrastructure except for public schools. This paper will address the questions most commonly asked by public works officials: (1) Where do I begin? (2) How do I diagnose the problems? (3) How do I know what problems to fix? (4) How long will it take? (5) What rehabilitation options are available? What results can I realistically expect? (6) How much will it cost? (7) Where can I get more information?
