When too much outside water enters the sewer system, it can overload pipes and pump stations, increase the risk of sewer overflows, and raise the cost of wastewater treatment.

Phase 1 studied the entire system to identify which neighborhoods and areas have the highest levels of I&I. Hazen and Sawyer, the City's engineering consultant, collected flow data, rainfall information, groundwater levels, and other measurements to determine the most impacted areas.
Phase 2 will now focus on locating the exact points where water is entering the system and recommending the necessary repairs. This work includes smoke testing, manhole inspections, nighttime flow checks, and video inspections of sewer pipes. Phase 2 will also support the City's required compliance with a Florida Department of Environmental Protection Consent Order.
