WET WEAl'HER FLOW MANAGEMENT PLAN · A description of projects recommended in the plan and their costs · A listing of the Policy Recommendations made in the plan · Next steps to be taken in completing the plan CAC members and staff from each City attended to present poster topics and answer citizen questions. Written comments were encouraged from attendees. Comments received induded the following: 1. The plan appears to be a balanced solution to a complex problem. 2. The need and magnitude of plant capacity increases should be determined after performing measures to decrease inflow and .infiltration into the system. 3. Private lateral rehabilitation should not be omitted as an element of the flow management plan even though this would be costly and politically difficult. 4. New pipeline collection systems should be tested and inspected to ensure that they provide the desired level of service and are not a contributor of excessive I/I. 5. Private sewer installation and inspeCtion should be given as high a priority as the publicly owned portion of the system, including the connection of the public sewer to the private system. Formal responses to the comments were not distributed to individuals but are addressed generally as follows: Response to Comment 2: The plan is designed to take an incremental approach to the implementation of improvements, with priority to system rehabili, tation to reduce IlL As indicated in the lO-year implementation schedule, ongoing flow monitoring and public i system rehabilitation are recommended in the plan, followed by plant improvements as needecL Secondary treatment .capacity increases will be needed for wet and dry weather conditions, while the magnitude and method to provide primary capacity increases will continue to be investigatecL A formal r~ cvaluation of the management plan is r~ommended by 2004 as indicated in Policy Issue No. 1Z Response to Comment $: Private lateral rehabilitation has not been omitted from the plan but has been recommended as a voluntary program to be developed in 2000/2001. This is described in Policy Issue No. 2. Response to Commel~ts 4 and 5: Inspection and testing of new publicly owned sewer pipelines is the current construction practice for both Cities. The inspection and testing occurs at the time of construction, and a visual inspecfi. 'on is performed at the completion of the warranty. period. Public sewer rehabilitation and the connection of rehabilitated pipes to the private hteral also are visually inspected-at the time of construction and at the end of the warranty period. Private laterals are inspected and tested at the time of construction. The materials presented at the open houses, the attendance sheet, and written comments received are included in Appendix B.
