Inflow and Infiltration in Sanitary Sewer Pipes
When inflow and infiltration enters sanitary sewer pipes, the sewer system may become overloaded with water and cause multiple problems. To help this problem, keep clean water out of the sanitary sewer and reduce treatment costs. Ensure your sump pump and downspout water is directed to your lawn, garden or rain barrel.
Inflow is the flow of storm water into the sanitary sewer system from sources such as downspouts and illegal sump pump connections.
Infiltration is the gradual downward flow of water from the ground surface into the soil and into the wastewater collection system.
Sump pump discharge should be visible. Sump pumps connected to the sanitary sewer are in violation of the Ontario Building Code and Municipality of Brockton By-law. These illegal connections direct clean water from foundation drains to the sanitary sewer rather than onto the lawn. When water enters the sanitary sewer through illegal connections, this is considered inflow and the wastewater treatment plant could become overloaded with clean water.
