Pin Point Proof: Innovative Temperature Study Accurately Locates Potential Sources of I/I
Abstract
Brown and Caldwell (BC) recently performed the first known United States-based study of a sanitary sewer system using Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) to find significant sources of infiltration and inflow (I/I) that were active during wet weather events. The study was performed within the East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) service area and the field study was funded significantly by EBMUD.
Brown and Caldwell recently performed the first known United States-based study using Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) to find significant sources of infiltration and inflow (I/I) that were active during wet weather events. The study was performed within the East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) service area and funded significantly by EBMUD. This study showed the capabilities of the DTS method for finding potential significant sources of I/I in a sanitary sewer system. Confirmation of these findings in the EBMUD study will be needed, but the temperature data provide strong evidence for identifying the locations most likely responsible for observed I/I.
