RCSD's sewer system is comprised of 75 miles of collector and trunk sewers. The sewer pipe lines have to be cleaned on a periodic basis. The cost of this activity has increased, as has the need to clean some areas of the system more frequently.
RCSD is growing and adding more commercial activities. Restaurants, Laundromats, etc discharge such substances as fat, oil and grease which clog sewer lines. Sections of the sewer system that service these facilities require more frequent cleaning and, in turn, experience more cost.
