Butler County to solicit bids for camera inspection after Sewer District #15 backup
Summary
After a backup revealed tree-root infiltration, Butler County authorized bids for a camera analysis of Sewer District #15 (138 paying units) to determine whether to line, burst, or excavate and repair the sewer main.
Public Works staff told commissioners a backup in Sewer District #15 confirmed suspected infiltration; while clearing the line crews found tree roots had infiltrated and blocked the pipe. Sewer District #15, located east of El Dorado, serves 138 paying units and conveys flow through three lift stations to the City of El Dorado's wastewater treatment facility.
Curtis Mader said the first step is to "perform a camera analysis of each line to assess the overall condition and identify the extent of damage or intrusion." Based on that analysis, options include taking no immediate action, installing a liner, bursting the line, or excavating and repairing the affected sections. The Board authorized Public Works to solicit bids for the camera inspection.
