ANNUAL PERFORMANCE REPORT
Location:
.1010 Bramblegate Road
Description:
PWC's sewer main rehabilitation contractor had a failure of the bypass system which was in place while
they were cleaning a sewer main in preparation for lining it. The bypass system was installed and
maintained by a subcontractor of the sewer main rehab contractor. The failure of the bypass system was
a result of the bypass contractor and the rehabilitation contractor not understanding the dynamics of the
system and not properly monitoring the pumps and sewer level.
Corrective measures:
PWC and the rehabilitation contractor removed the plug from the sewer main and allowed the sewer
system to flow normally. Once the plug was removed the flow returned to normal conditions and
relieved the surcharging in the system. Waste residue was removed from spill location and affected
area was treated_ with lime and odor counteractant. No negative environmental impact was associated
with this spill. PWC, the sewer main rehabilitation contractor, and the bypass subcontractor met
following the correction of the situation to discuss the cause of the overflow and develop a process to
eliminate that from occurring again.
Event 2: Date: 12/28/2015 Gallons: 2,263
Location:
214 Cochran Avenue
Description:
A section of the sewer main collapsed as a result of storm water erosion on. the hillside adjacent to the
sewer easement. The collapsed sewer main caused the sewer overflow -
Corrective measures:
Three combination vacuum/jetter trucks were used upstream of pipe collapse to maintain flow and
ending spill incident. A sewer bypass pumping system was installed and the collapsed section of sewer
main replaced. No cleanup of the spill site was needed as the volume of the sewer overflow entering the
unnamed tributary was heavily diluted due to the passing rainfall event on and after the spill date.
Sections of the sewer main in this area were added to the sewer main rehabilitation schedule to prevent
future issues with the existing main. No negative environmental impact was associated with this spill.
