Effectiveness of Private Property Infiltration and Inflow Reduction efforts in East Tosa October 14, 2014: Wauwatosa Budget and Finance Committee Meeting
Overview Background Completed Work Reduction Effectiveness Summary 2
Background 3
MMSD notified Wauwatosa that the MS0411 meter basin flows were too high and not compliant with MMSD Chapter 3 Rules (“flow performance standard”) MS0411 Normal dry weather flow 4 Peak flow is 20 times higher than average flow!
Where is Infiltration and Inflow from? Private Property Line Roof Drain Connection (illegal) Connected Foundation Drain Catch Basin to Sanitary (illegal)
Background 2011 Sanitary Sewer System Evaluation Wauwatosa East Tosa Area Sewersheds WA4001, WA4002, WA4035 Alternatives may include: Disconnect Foundation Drains sump pumps Upsize pipes increase capacity Storage Tank for excess flow Rehabilitate Public mains and manholes reduce I/I Rehabilitate Private Laterals reduce I/I 6

Results Summary Pilot areas are leakier than the metershed average flow. Overall reduction may be smaller when applied to less leaky areas. 25
*Not an official MMSD evaluation for Chapter 3 compliance purposes Close to the performance standard with 50% of laterals grouted and additional rehab work to be completed in

Summary Private property I/I contribution previously identified Flow reduction effectiveness evaluated for meter basins MS0411 and FM6 (a subbasin of MS0411) Lateral grouting was 50% complete at time of evaluation Flows in FM6 basin reduced by 26% Wauwatosa flows in MS0411 basin reduced by 16% Lateral grouting cost ratio: $0.61/gpd Lateral lining cost ratio: $1.66/gpd MMSD will continue to monitor flows at MS0411 and will determine if the flows are in compliance 30
