Summary & Background The Department of Public Works requests renewal of an existing contract with Duke’s Root Control, Inc., to provide sewer line chemical root control services.
Scope of Work: The contract is for sewer system chemical root services for the Department of Public Works for the County’s North and South Fulton sanitary sewer service areas. Approximately 848.55 miles of sewer pipeline have been treated for root intrusion from 2014 through 2022.
Community Impact: Root intrusion into the sanitary sewer system can result in sewer system spills that can create odorous conditions. If significant, the spill could result in fish being killed and, if a body of water is impacted, there could be adverse impacts to human health and the environment.
Department Recommendation: The Department of Public Works requests approval to renew an existing contract with Duke’s Root Controls, Inc.
Project Implications: If root intrusion is not managed and corrected by the Department of Public Works, the frequency of sewer system overflows would likely increase, which could result in fines and penalties.
Community Issues/Concerns: No community issues/concerns have been raised to staff of the Department of Public Works.
Department Issues/Concerns: No issues/concerns have been raised by Department of Public Works staff.
