Closed Circuit Television/Camera Truck
The Inflow and Infiltration Technicians (I&I Tech) make certain the sewer lines are flowing properly from resident's homes to the Water Pollution Control Facility. The I&I Techs use a camera truck which is capable of “Tving” sewer pipes in diameter from 4" to 36". The entire sanitary sewer system in Leesburg is inspected and evaluated every 6 years. During the inspection process all pipe lines, and manholes are evaluated for deficiencies. The problems or deficiencies are diagnosed, prioritized and categorized into appropriate repair orders. The data collected is managed with a software program and video output is recorded.

The Vac-Con and Utility Maintenance Division staff are responsible for maintaining the sanitary sewer system and to minimize sewer system stoppage.

- If you smell sewer odor in your home or business, pour a cup or more of water into your basement floor drain to “rehydrate” the drain trap. Water acts as a barrier in the trap to prevent odor from rising into your home.
- If the sewer cleanout cap in your yard is damaged, please contact the Utilities Maintenance Division for assistance and replacement.
