. Inflow and Infiltration Reduction <br />The City of Falcon Heights, like the majority of the communities in the metropolitan <br />area, has spent considerable time and energy managing inflow and infiltration (I/I) within <br />their sanitary sewer collection system. The Metropolitan Council Environmental <br />Services (MCES) has implemented a surcharge program which is designed to encourage <br />metro communities to reduce I/I entering their portion of the sanitary collection system. <br />While the City has not exceeded the pre-determined maximum peak level established by <br />MCES the City should continue its effort to minimize I/I and should prepare and <br />implement an I/I reduction program. <br />The I/I reduction program would be used to isolate and prioritize sewer rehabilitation in <br />the sanitary sewer collection system, both on the public and private side of the system. <br />The City should continue with the cleaning and closed circuit television inspection, <br />conducting a sewer rehabilitation program, including conducting follow-up inspections in <br />neighborhoods with significant I/I potential. <br />Sanitary Sewer System: Goals and Policies <br />This section provides recommended goals and policies for the City's Sanitary Sewer <br />System. <br />• Maintain Operational Efficiency <br />Maintain Operational Efficiency Policies <br />• Initiate reconstruction or rehabilitation program for sanitary sewer to repair or <br />replace segments of system in distressed condition or determined to be over <br />capacity. <br />• Initiate and continue a closed circuit television (CCTV) inspection program to <br />provide updated condition observations of the collection system at a minimum of <br />every five years. <br />• Complete annual inspections and cleaning of lift station. <br />Inflow and Infiltration <br />Inflow and Infiltration Reduction Plan Policies <br />• The City should implement an I/I reduction program to isolate and prioritize <br />sewer rehabilitation in their sanitary sewer collection system. <br />• <br />Falcon Heights Comprehensive Plan 2008 Draft -January, 2008 Part III: Infrastructure, Page III-21 <br />
