Seeing Inside a Sewer Line
The Sewer Department has a special TV camera that is used to
see inside a sewer line so blockages and cracks can be more easily
identified. This past year the Sewer Department TV inspected over
20,000 linear feet of sewer line. The Department was able to identify
2 significant blockages and several cracked pipes that otherwise
would have gone undetected.
This image was taken on 2/10/2000 and shows a significant grease
blockage that developed inside a sewer line on the west side of
Route 309 in the area of West Hopewell Road. The Water and Sewer
Department subsequently relieved the blockage.
This image was taken on 2/16/2000 and shows a circular crack in
a clay pipe located on the West side of Route 309 near West Hopewell
Road. The Water and Sewer Department recently repaired the crack
by a technique known as slip-lining.
