SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
Scope of Work: This contract provides sewer system chemical root services for the County's North and South Fulton sanitary sewer areas. From 2014 to 2024, roughly 887.46 miles of sewer pipeline have been treated to manage root intrusion. When roots enter the sanitary sewer lines, they often cause blockages and sewer overflow spills. Therefore, it is important that all roots are removed from the lines.
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 recommends approval.
