MAYOR’S OFFICE
MAYOR’S MESSAGE
Sewer Inspection Goes High Tech Do you ever stop to think about where the water from your sink or dishwasher or toilet goes after it leaves your house? Thankfully, you have dedicated people at Murray City who make it their goal to keep you from having to worry about that. There are 135 miles of pipe that make up the Murray Wastewater Collection System. Usually, the pipes are underground and generally below our streets. All that pipe needs to be inspected regularly for defects that could include cracks, roots, broken or separated pipe and excessive grease build up. The Public Works Wastewater Division is responsible for inspecting and maintaining the pipes in the sewer collection system to prevent Sanitary Sewer Overflow (SSO) from happening. Now, the Division has a new way to track the health of the system. The Division just received the new IBAK HD closed circuit television

(CCTV) van. Operators now remotely drive the closed-circuit television (CCTV) camera up every sewer main pipe in a collection system while recording a high-definition video. Van operators record and report any defects that are found within the collection system. Fats, oil and grease known as (FOG) and tree roots are the main cause of backups that occur in the sewer collection system. With this new CCTV van, the Wastewater Division can identify the potential problems in the collection system and repair the defects before they become an issue and potentially to cause an SSO. Wastewater operators continually work their way through the collection system individually televising the pipes and fixing issues. The City is very lucky to have such skilled people who work behind the scenes, making sure the pipes that carry waste away from our homes and businesses are clean and flowing smoothly.
