Description:
Several EPA projects are currently underway to encourage technology development and dissemination in key aspects of the condition assessment and rehabilitation of water and wastewater systems. The progress on one of these projects, "Rehabilitation of Water Distribution and Wastewater Collection Systems"s described in this paper. A comprehensive review and evaluation was conductewd on existing and emerging rehabilitation and repair technologies. In addition, promising technologies were identified for controlled-condition testing and field demonstration. This paper presents the reults of a state-of-the-practice survey on the rehabilitation of water distribution and wastewater collection systems, including the major technologies currently in use, and the major issues faced in terms of speeding rehabilitation efforts and documenting/improving the performance of the technologies used.
