LESSONS LEARNED
- Performance Measures: A pilot measurement in a specific mini system shows I/I remedial work reduces the flows. In an annual report to NYSDEC, a summary of house inspection program results and estimated I/I removed through the developer rehab program are included.
- Lessons Learned: The process is very time consuming. There are gaps to work out in communicating with homeowners. It is vital to get homeowners to “buy in” to the program to ensure its success, especially properties serviced by clay tile pipe or similar material.
