             Summary:

             The City of Arlington Water Utilities entered into the       6" ‐ 15" Sewer Lines Cleaned
             Sanitary Sewer Overflow (SSO) Voluntary Initiative          (Linear Feet vs. Total Footage)
             established by the Texas Commission on Environmental
                                                               30%
             Quality (TCEQ) in 2005.  In order to participate, the City
             of Arlington agreed to evaluate its sanitary sewer system   25%
             and develop an action plan that includes a schedule of   20%
             dates detailing when corrective or preventative
             maintenance will occur.  Arlington Water Utilities has   15%
             also established a goal of cleaning 20% of sewer lines 6”   10%
             through 15” annually.
                                                                5%

             The initiative was completed successfully.  An in‐depth   0%
             analysis of Arlington’s sanitary sewer maintenance and   Total   1st Qtr  2nd Qtr  3rd Qtr  4th Qtr
             operations was completed in FY 2018.  It has been       Footage
             determined the 20% goal is still valid and will be
             maintained for FY 2019

             Update:
                       th
             During the 4  quarter 558,961 linear feet of 6” to 15”
             sewer lines were cleaned, which equates to 8.57% of the
             total linear footage.  Additionally, targeted cleaning and
             root control methods are being utilized in areas where
             seasonal rainstorms have generated multiple overflows
             and increased the growth of root intrusions into the
             sanitary sewer system.
