Sewer Projects
Sewer Inflow and Infiltration Reduction Project, Years 10, 11 and 12:
Braintree performs sewer maintenance and repairs in a systematic two-year approach, the first year is an "investigation year" and includes cleaning and televising the inside of municipal sewer pipes which provides necessary system maintenance and identifies any issues that require further attention which can be addressed in the following "Rehabilitation Year". The rehabilitation work includes the lining of sewer pipes and manholes and sealing of joints and other defects with the goal of reducing the amount of groundwater infiltrating into the municipal sewer system. The majority of this work is trenchless and non-invasive, and often, residents will only see contractor vehicles parked in the middle of the street with access to the sewer system through manholes. This is a fairly expansive program that rehabilitates tens of thousands of feet of pipe in various sections of town.
