Chesapeake Seals the Deal   Water Engineering & Management May 2003   Watertight Storm Sewer Group
The City of Chesapeake, Va. is located in the region called Hampton Roads, the 27th largest metro area in the country with more than 1.5 million residents. With an annual rainfall of approximately 48", its designers must contend with the prospects of determining where 294 billion gallons of water will go. A large share of this rainfall will find its way into the storm sewers. Last year, the City Council appropriated an extra $467,600 for contract cave-in repairs. The City of Chesapeake has recognized this problem and is developing a program to address it.

Are You Ready for CMOM?   Water & Wastes Digest October 2002   WWD Staff
CMOM is the acronym for the new Capacity, Management Operation and Maintenance program that soon will be enacted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In its simplest form, it has to do with the operation of sanitary sewers to prevent overloading of waste treatment plants and the overflow prevention of sanitary sewage into lakes and streams.

Plastic and Plastic Lined Pipe   Water Engineering & Management September 1967   George E. Symons, Ph.D.
In about 1965, a specially designed plastic pipe, termed truss pipe, was introduced in sizes of 8-, 10-, 12-, and 15-inch diameters. In 1967, a British manufacturer announced the production of extruded polyvinyl chloride pipe (PVC) in diameters up to 16 inches, with the future possibility of producing up to 30-inch pipe. These developments undoubtedly will lead to the wider use of plastic pipe for sewers.
