Block Grant project not yet completed. This Televideo work
ANALYSIS
is to be done with our personnel and TV equipment. The
additional City personnel were just recently hired for this

project. This work includes the cleaning and TV'ing of up
to 9 miles of existing sewer mains. The firm of Black and
Veatch is familiar with analyzing large scale sewer systems
similar to what we will be doing under this Block Grant
program. Black and Veatch will first be setting up an
effective and systematic way of analyzing the system so that
we will only be using our manpower and equipment for that
work that is actually needed. They will also be structuring
an inventory system of the results so that we can ultimately
computerize the maintenance information for this area and,
in the future, for our entire system. They will also be
training our personnel in smoke testing procedures to help
us determine the amount of broken house lateral lines and
illegal connections to the sewer system. Based on the
existing zoning, they will be analyzing the adequacy
(capacity) of our existing systems and will be making
recommendations for size and location for any new lines
needed based on the capacity analysis and the conditions of
the existing trunk facilities.
The City presently has $6,000 budgeted for a Sewer Cutfall
Corrosion Study. This work will b, done by Black and
Veatch. The firm has indicated to us that if both of these
`
similar type projects can be done together, it will save
approximately $1,000 on the outfall study. 5,

under the Block Grant submittal due to the complications and submittal re-
