2. Routine Maintenance and Inspection Goals <br />A. Sanitary Sewer Mains <br />Scope of City's Responsibility - The City will maintain the components of the public sanitary <br />sewer system. This includes sanitary sewer mains, manholes, lift stations, and other <br />components. Private property owners are responsible for the maintenance of sanitary sewer <br />components from their property up to and including the connection to the public system. <br />Schedule — The City's goal is to inspect, maintain and clean 1/3 the components of its sanitary <br />sewer system per year. <br />Equipment — The equipment used to perform maintenance will depend upon the equipment <br />available and its effectiveness as determined by qualified staff. <br />Television Inspection — The City's sanitary sewer mains will be inspected by television camera <br />1/10 of the city per year. Any sewer mains located on a street where a street maintenance <br />project is planned will be inspected before and after such a project. Sanitary sewer mains in a <br />new development must be televised before said mains are turned over to the City. Television <br />inspection may also be used to inspect the system where there are possible problems. In <br />addition, the City may require any main near a construction site to be televised before and after <br />the construction (i.e., near blasting, digging, other activities that might disrupt the main, etc.) <br />Visual recordings of sewer main televising will be required of any vendor performing this <br />service for the City. A written report summarizing and interpreting the findings of the <br />televising will also be required. These records will be kept by the City for a minimum of 12 <br />years. <br />B. Problem Areas <br />The sanitary sewer mains and facilities identified as Category 1 will receive ordinary routine <br />maintenance as noted on sewer maps. The sanitary sewer mains and facilities identified on the <br />sewer map as Category 2 will receive more frequent maintenance and those identified as <br />Category 3 will receive less frequent maintenance. When a sewer main or facility is identified <br />as anything other than Category 1, the reasons why maintenance is needed on a different <br />schedule will be documented. Sewer mains and facilities will receive maintenance according <br />to the attached schedule. <br />The Utility Supervisor will determine whether a main or facility is Category 1, receiving <br />routine sewer maintenance, Category 2, receiving more frequent maintenance or Category 3, <br />receiving less frequent maintenance. Based on periodic assessment, maintenance will be <br />adjusted and a sewer main may be moved from one category to another. <br />C. Sanitary Sewer Lift Stations <br />The City maintains lift stations using specific maintenance that is reasonable and <br />recommended. The number of lift stations, location, date of installation, and capacity of each <br />lift station is kept on record. Maintenance for each lift station is reflected in Standard <br />
