1. <br />I <br />�.TO: Members of the Common Council !•j <br />;�., <br />RE, Vacuum Catch Basin Cleaner and Flusher with <br />.i <br />Attachments and a Jet Rodder <br />•,' <br />FROM: John L. Hunter, Director of Utilities <br />, <br />i '. <br />The purpose of this piece of equipment is to clean and maintain <br />the sewer system (under 24- inches in diameter)., <br />The material, grit, small roots and debris are cleaned from the <br />!- <br />sewer lines to the bottom of the manhole by the high pressure het <br />it <br />4.- <br />rodder. The vacuum part of the equipment, either simultaneously or�,�, <br />intermittently, then lifts the debris from the manhole and deposits,_ <br />it into the truck to be hauled away and dumped, <br />We propose to reduce the dragging crews from three to two crews, <br />thereby releasing three men to operate this unit. We will institute <br />a preventive maintenance program using this equipment.on sewer lines; <br />that have been cleaned during the past two years. In this manner we <br />can release the two remaining drag crews to use the bucket dragging <br />{' <br />system on sewer lines which have not been serviced for years and are <br />' <br />difficult to clean. <br />We are anticipating cleaning 400,000 feet of sewer per year with <br />this unit. The two remaining crews should be able to clean 100,000 to <br />120,000 feet of sewer per year.' This would give us a, possible two year <br />, <br />1 <br />:i <br />. <br />I <br />I <br />H.. <br />
