The Northern California Pipe Users Group (PUG) is pleased to sponsor the NASTT Sewer Laterals Good Practices Course, Tuesday, September 21, in Martinez, California at the offices of the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District. The training is developed and conducted by the North American Society for Trenchless Technology (NASTT).
You Need to Know Sewer Laterals! Millions of sewer laterals – portions of sewer networks that connect individual properties to the public sewer network – exist throughout the United States and elsewhere. Many laterals have not been maintained and as a result, allow significant amount of inflow and infiltration (I/I) into sewer systems which can lead to sanitary sewer overflows, increased costs and damage. Consequently, there is a compelling need to solve I/I problems of sewer laterals. Learn more about the rehabilitation of sewer laterals by attending this special one-day course on Sept. 21 in Martinez, California.
Course Objective: This course offers a clear understanding of the problems and relevant issues unique to the private lateral portion of the collection system network, explains available options for inspection, evaluation and repair of sewer laterals and address the financial and legal issues that affect the means by which necessary work can be accomplished.
NEW Course Material! The course material has been recently updated to include new technology developments and utility experience in terms of managing the legal and financial issues associated with private lateral sewer programs. Additional information on the actual savings in I/I reduction being realized through lateral rehabilitation programs will also be presented.
