Have you met the newest member of the City's heavy equipment fleet? This combination Vactor/Jetter Truck went into service six weeks ago in the Sewer Utility Division and is used for a wide variety of maintenance tasks that used to be contracted out.
This high-tech tool will save the City money and tackles the under-appreciated task of cleaning out sewer mains. In combination with closed-circuit TV cameras, it can identify and repair clogs due to roots, grease, pipe defects, and more.
Sometimes the blockage is actually because of mop heads, T-shirts, or excessive babywipes (please do NOT flush these, despite what the packaging may claim!). Crews also find lots of cellphones, car keys, flashlights, and more.
