Inflow and infiltration is a burden on municipalities, utility companies, public works organizations, and on those that live in the community. Cost is one of the biggest burdens of inflow and infiltration, and it comes in the form of water. A leak that loses ten gallons per minute, which is not uncommon, can turn into 5,256,000 gallons per year. That is roughly a waste of $10,512 per year*. And that is just one leak.
But cost is just one of the issues. Have you considered these?
- Possible Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) fines
- Flooding basements and buildings
- Reduced wastewater treatment plant capacity
- Potential emergency response costs
The best course of action against inflow and infiltration is to stop the leak. The right solution, however, depends on the severity of the issue and the area needing repair.
