Sewer Lining Project
July 2024 Sewer Lining Project
The Lake in the Hills Sanitary District is excited
to announce the continueance of a much-needed sewer main rehabilitation project
to trenchless-ly update our aging infrastructure.
This will start during the summer of 2024.
This year we have contracted with
Visu-Sewer
Inc.
to install fiberglass liners in a select set of sewer mains shown in the
maps below. These mains are in our most problematic area, have been
thoroughly inspected, and deemed the most in need of improvement.
The 5 main benefits of
doing this are:
1.
Lining old sewer main material that’s
near the end of it’s shelf life
2.
Reducing inflow and infiltration of
excessive water overloading the system
3.
Eliminating roots and other intrusions
4.
Improving velocity and flow
5.
Reducing cost of sewer systems operations
This is the beginning of a project that will take
place over the next several years. Our goal is to eliminate the
problematic areas and ensure the security and functionality of the sewer
system for years to come.
What is sewer lining?
Good Question!
Sewer lining requires no excavation, creates
limited or no interruptions to the sanitary sewer system, and
rehabilitates the existing infrastructure, providing a significant
increase in the useful life of the system.
During the lining process the contractor will access manholes located near homes and businesses. The contractor may need to access manholes located in the street in front of properties or in the rear yard of properties. The contractor will not need to enter a private home or business. District personnel will be monitoring the progress of the work throughout this project.
It is possible that during the installation of the liner, residents may detect a “plastic” odor in the area. The odor should dissipate within a few hours. If residents notice an unusual smell in their home, or if the odor remains detectable outside for a prolonged period, please call the Sanitary District at 847-658-5122.
