Plevna engineers warn lining work could temporarily disrupt toilets and cause odors during cure
Summary
Council questioned the timeline and resident impacts of CIPP lining; Brosz estimated about two months for roughly 12,000 feet of lining work and said individual pipe liners require about four hours to fully cure, during which residents may be unable to flush.
Councilwoman Promise Miller raised practical concerns about how long lining would take and when residents might be unable to use water fixtures. Rylan Limesand of Brosz Engineering estimated roughly 12,000 feet of pipe would need lining and gave a "rough estimate of time" of about two months for the lining work, dependent on field conditions discovered during construction.
On cure-time effects, Limesand said CIPP takes around four hours to fully cure and that there "could be an odor while the pipe is curing." He said Brosz will help send out notices and keep the public informed to minimize surprises. The firm emphasized that trenchless lining reduces open excavation but that segments requiring excavation would have more disruptive impacts; the PER will provide a timeline and outreach plan to inform residents before construction.
