Mike Saunders joins us for another engaging discussion. This time, the conversation explores the concept of aging infrastructure in the wastewater industry. It discusses the two main aspects of aging infrastructure: deteriorating functionality and becoming obsolete.
The timeline for infrastructure to be considered aging varies, with some systems losing functionality as early as 10 years. Not surprisingly, the problem of aging infrastructure is significant, with thousands of sewer overflows reported and billions of dollars spent on repairs and maintenance.
The conversation highlights the need for regulatory oversight, proper maintenance, and funding to address the challenges of aging infrastructure. We also cover various aspects of wastewater systems and infrastructure. The principal themes include the importance of inflow and infiltration (I&I), neglect of the collection system and pretreatment, monitoring and troubleshooting beyond the end of the pipe, scheduled plant expansions, the need for sustainability and optimization in engineering, and personal motivation to make a meaningful impact.
