2017 Sanitary Sewer Cleaning and Televising Program - Bid Award
History
The Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (MWRD) passed the Watershed Management Ordinance (WMO) establishing minimum storm water management regulations in their serviceable district. The MWRD also passed an amendment to their WMO that require satellite entities with sanitary sewer systems that discharge into the MWRD, to implement measures to reduce excessive Infiltration and Inflow (I&I) from entering MWRD’s system.
