Text of the Sewer Maintenance video

Nobody likes it when the sewer overflows. That's why the Utilities Division uses a tiny tv camera on wheels to inspect our sewer pipes.

Then we can clear away roots and built up grease before they cause a problem. Last year we inspected 110 miles of pipes and cleared away 800 potential clogs.

Preventing sewer overflows is good for the residents, good for the city, and good for the environment.

I'm Dean Raper with Utilities Construction and Maintenance, and I'm working for you.
