sewer services are 4 to 6-inch diameterpipes.The sanitary sewer mainsaregenerally8 to <br />12-feet deep.A number of property owners who are connected to the old VCP mains have <br />experienced problems with their sanitary sewer service in recent years.Televising records <br />of these VCP mains shows that while the pipe is relatively sound, many of the joints are <br />severely misaligned and there are several locations of severe root intrusion. Both the <br />misaligned joints and the root intrusion indicate that the pipe is subject to heavy <br />infiltration during high ground water conditions. <br />A 14-inch sanitary sewer force main is present alongEvans Street andRailroad Drive to <br />the wastewater treatment plant. <br />Project Area 2 <br />The sanitary sewer in the Industrial Park was constructed in 1980 andextendedto <br />additional parcelsin1987.
