SANITARY SEWER LINE MANHOLES AND MANHOLE COVERS
SFMA field personnel are performing inspections of manholes throughout the system and pipe televising work. In performing these tasks, a number of manholes have been identified as being buried as a result of landscaping activities. Covering manholes, thus making them inaccessible, is prohibited by SFMA regulations and by Township ordinances. These ordinances provide for significant monetary penalties that may be assessed to property owners that have covered manholes. SFMA personnel and their contractors must have ready access to manholes not only for performing the required assessment activities, but to provide prompt response to any emergency blockages that may occur. Over the next several years, manholes will need to be opened on more than one occasion to complete the mandatory work.
