Sanitary Sewer Lining Project Starting

Contractors are in Waverly starting preparations for the sanitary sewer cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining project this week.

CIPP lining is a trenchless sewer repair method used to fix damaged underground sewer pipes without excavation. CIPP is a technology that creates a new, seamless "pipe within a pipe" by inserting a resin-soaked liner into an existing sewer line, inflating it, and curing it so it hardens in place.

Once cured, it becomes a strong, joint-free replacement pipe that should last from 60-100 years, depending on conditions. All processes and procedures for installation are approved by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and follow established guidelines.

The project is slated to continue through late fall. Visit www.waverlyia.com/CIPP26 to view the project area map. Work should have minimal impact on residents.
