I/I Reduction

 
Infiltration And Inflow Reduction Program

The BCUA has prepared and adopted five and twenty-year work plans for long-term capacity assurance for the BCUA’s Little Ferry and Edgewater water pollution control facilities (WPCF).  In addition, the work plans address sanitary wet weather-related sanitary sewer overflow (SSO) in the municipal wastewater collections systems, BCUA intercepting sewers and pump stations, and emergency by-passing of excessive storm flows at both WPCFs through a rain-induced infiltration and inflow (RI/I) reduction program.

The BCUA has prepared the five and twenty-year work plans consistent with the BCUA I/I task force recommendations to the BCUA commissioners and its presentation to the NJDEP on September 24, 2007.  Under the five-year work plan, the BCUA will continue to concentrate on the most critical areas where I/I is excessive.  These areas were prioritized in a report prepared by Hatch Mott MacDonald for the BCUA entitled Rainfall Induced Infiltration and Dry Weather Infiltration Analysis of BCUA Metering Sites, Reduction of I/I Path 2-Task 4, written March 2005, final February 2006.
