Collection Staff

Staff duties include replacing mainline piping, fixing leaky manholes, repairing broken lateral pipes from sewer mains to customer property lines, and adjusting manhole casting elevations to coincide with local and state road paving projects.  Staff also monitors and maintains the operation of 17 Lift Stations and 3 Flow Meters, as well as investigates the Collections System for Inflow and Infiltration (ground or surface water that enters the system via breaks or leaks) through the used of closed-circuit tv, flow meters, digital cameras, and other testing equipment. Where feasible, crews also perform upgrades to the system by installing larger diameter piping, and by installing gravity piping that allows us to remove lift (pump) stations – which results in operational savings of maintenance time and energy costs.
