Leaking pipes, pipe joints, and mainline/lateral connections can be damaging and costly. Infiltration of groundwater into sanitary sewers unnecessarily increases the quantity of sewage that must be handled at treatment facilities. Exfiltration of sewage from the pipe can lead to contamination of groundwater. Therefore, eliminating leaks helps protect groundwater resources, reduces treatment costs, and extends the life of treatment facilities. The Water Infiltration Reference Table shows the impact even small leaks have on amount of flow through the pipe. These flows are conservative and based on a groundwater head of only one foot over the pipe.
