Do the words inflow and infiltration (I&I) leave you scratching your head? This episode of Engineers for Communities looks at how I&I affects a community's sewer collection system and wastewater treatment plant. It covers why I&I matters and how to address it. The point is not only to understand I&I. It is to use that knowledge to improve your community's quality of life.

In this episode

  • A plain explanation of I&I and where it comes from.
  • Why I&I should be on your radar, and how it affects your community.
  • A quick guide to measuring I&I and judging what the numbers mean.
  • A review of each testing method and what each one is best for.
  • How to work the findings into your master plan, including funding options and which lines to fix first.
