Problem: Raw Sewage Found in Euclid Creek
•
Residents living near Euclid Creek on Liberty Road reported strong smell
•
Investigated by NEORSD in 2008–
Traced to open invert of in a combination storm/sanitary manhole located south of Mayfield Road
–
Ninety degree bends in the sanitary line at Mayfield Road frequently plugged, causing back-
up into storm manhole upstream –
and inflow

Rainbow Creek was enclosed by a 42 inch storm sewer before 1930
•
Built in common trench over the sanitary sewer, along old creek bed
•
Combined manholes used•
Creek bed filled in circa 1949 to create playing field for St. Gregory Church –
manholes buried

The Cause: Sanitary Inflow
•
NEORSD investigation pinpoints sanitary blockage and overflow into the 42”
storm as
the source of the problem
•
City Service Department Assists

Another 3,600 feet to top of drainage area

The Cause: Sanitary Inflow
• 42 inch VCP storm –
built
directly over 8 inch VCP sanitary
•
Combined MH
•
Access plates cemented over
•
Later broken open for access, but not sealed –
results in
inflow!

Challenges
•
Repairs Needed were out of the right-of-way:–
Find Buried Manholes
–
Clean and Televise•
Lines Always Running Full or Plugged
–
Research or Acquire Easements–
Minimize disruption•
Existing Restaurant
•
School football field•
Recent condominium development

Challenges
Research on Recorder’s website found original 15’
easement documents recorded in 1927 –previously unknown to City
Sewers built in over/under configuration made access a problem

Summary
•
Tracing Illicit Discharge sources in large systems is a challenge –
problems can manifest themselves far from the
source•
NEORSD and BoH were instrumental in this case
•
Research all sources –
old topo, old plans, easement documents
•
Use “institutional memory”
in addition to your system maps -talk to your Sewer Department
•
Repairs may be required far out of the right-of-way•
Use trenchless techniques where ever possible
