Water and Sewer Lines Upgrading of water and sewer lines is coordinated with the major reconstruction of streets. Emergency repair and replacement is done as occurrences warrant. Technologies exist that allow the City of Sylvania to repair much of our water and sewer systems without the excavation and disruption to traffic flow normally associated with reconstruction. Below are examples of these new processes that not only save millions of dollars but drastically reduce repair time for old and damaged underground systems. New technology that can rehabilitate underground sewer and pipes without digging or disruption is used to address these issues.
Pipes are lined to restore structural integrity and flow as an alternative to replacement.
One such technology leader in this area today is Insituform . Other No-Dig technology involves the placement of stainless steel sleeves and expanding sealant within the damaged underground lines. These stainless sleeves are not just a temporary fix but will last 225 years or longer. Link-Pipe is another leader in these repair technologies. The removal of guesswork speeds the repair of affected systems.
