2.2.2 I/I Reduction Pilot Program<br />

An important part of <strong>Halifax</strong> Water’s long-term approach to reducing wastewater<br />

system demand is a comprehensive I/I program. The first step in that program is<br />

developing <strong>Halifax</strong> based information regarding the sources of I/I, possible measures to<br />

reduce I/I and the effectiveness and costs of these measures. This is the primary<br />

purpose of the I/I pilot program.<br />

Table 2.11 outlines the proposed program tasks and estimated duration. These tasks are<br />

intended to proceed in parallel to the extent possible.<br />

Table 2.11<br />

I/I Pilot Program Outline<br />

Baseline/Existing Study Review<br />

Task Description/Activities<br />

• Review recommendations from previous I/I related studies<br />

• Review existing CCTV inspection reports<br />

• Confirmation of recommendations that are still valid and required for<br />

implementation<br />

• Review existing flow monitoring and rain gauging locations (overall network)<br />

• Identify additional monitoring locations<br />

• Review hydraulic model and confirm pilot area is covered by skeletonized collection<br />

system model<br />

• Identification of data gaps<br />

Sewershed Prioritization/Data Collection and Model Development<br />

• Prioritization of prospective pilot program sewersheds (consideration of both public<br />

and private side flow reduction opportunities; focus on sewersheds expected to see<br />

WWTF expansions or significant PS upgrade requirements)<br />

• Select pilot program sewersheds<br />

• Build out model to serve pilot area(s) as needed<br />

• Identify flow monitoring location(s) for the pilot sewersheds and outline the flow<br />

monitoring program is to be undertaken<br />

• Assess need and feasibility of remote data access (using PI system) and impacts on<br />

timing for the pilot<br />

• Identify data coordination requirements with the hydraulic model<br />

• Install and calibrate flow meter(s)<br />

• Identify and assess range of I/I reduction techniques suitable for implementation in<br />

each pilot sewershed (storage, operational repairs (manhole, main line spot repairs),<br />

manhole cover plugs, sewer separation (combined systems), deep storm installation<br />

program (sanitary systems – no existing storm system), collection system relining<br />

program, lateral relining program, pressure grouting of manholes, flood grouting,<br />

sump pump disconnection program, foundation drain and roof leader disconnection<br />

program)<br />

• Identify capital projects that may be incorporated into the pilot evaluation process<br />

(i.e. pre-/post-construction monitoring of relevant capital projects)<br />

• Identify work plan, schedule, and measurement requirements for each sewershed<br />
