ARTICLE 28 (CIP): DPW/SEWER – Inflow & Infiltration (I&I) Mitigation
To see if the Town will vote to appropriate the sum of Three Hundred Eighty Thousand Dollars ($380,000) to perform the third year of inflow and infiltration elimination from the sanitary sewer system, and to meet said appropriation the sum of Three Hundred Eighty Thousand Dollars ($380,000) be raised by taxation, transferred from available funds, borrowed or otherwise appropriated.
− This Article provides funds to remove non-sanitary flows from the sewer system as mandated by MassDEP under 314 CMR 12.04. The Town has a comprehensive 15-year inflow and infiltration elimination plan, and this is the third year of implementation. For each gallon of storm/groundwater that is removed from the sewer system, that is one less gallon that must be treated and one more gallon of capacity available for future use.
