Background
Chapter 4715.0330 of the State Plumbing Code includes provisions which allow a
City to approve alternate methods of repair provided the methods and materials are
suitable, safe, and sanitary for the use foir which they are intended. Based upon
this provision, staff has approved two additional methods of repairing sanitary
sewer services which meet these requirements. Therefore, the three approved
methods of repairing sanitary sewer services include 1) the excavation, removal and
replacement of the service line; 2) the installation of an in place sanitary sewer
liner; and 3) pipe bursting.
Staff is recommending that the approved methods of sanitary sewer service repair
described be formally adopted by resolution of the City Council. This action would
formalize the acceptable rehabilitation measures that contractors could use in the
City.
