This consent decree program aims to proactively address the need for improving the condition of large diameter sewers (with an equivalent circular pipe diameter of 48 inches) in Kansas City’s sanitary and combined sewer systems. The goal is to evaluate and select appropriate inspection and/or rehabilitation methods and techniques for large diameter sewers and develop the necessary contract documents for identified projects as part of the Smart Sewer Program.
The total estimated linear footage of large diameter sewers within the separate and combined sewer systems is approximately 830,000 linear feet made up of various materials, including brick, clay tile, reinforced concrete pipe, ductile iron, cast iron, fiberglass, corrugated metal pipe, and plastic pipe. Project tasks include evaluating and selecting appropriate inspection methods for condition assessment and rehabilitation/replacement approaches for large diameter sewers; developing process protocols for inspection technology selection and rehabilitation method applications; assessing sewer condition data and providing sewer rehabilitation recommendations; performing supplemental field investigations to verify sewer condition assessment data; prioritizing recommendations based upon risk factors, and developing a multi-year CIP plan to achieve EPA consent decree compliance.
