If you read my earlier article, you know that preliminary measurement and clean out was being done on the sewer laterals in Brandywine Hundred and in particular, South Graylyn Crest to prepare them for lining, per an EPA mandate. Rainwater and sewage were mixing and causing sewage to flow untreated into rivers. Not Good. So New Castle County set about lining main lines and laterals into houses to prevent this leakage and overflow.
Today was the day that workers Dave (the CCTV cameraman) and Octavio came to finish the job on my lateral (they still have a lot more houses to do in South Graylyn, then they move to North Graylyn Crest).
Here you see Dave checking the video screen to see how the lining is being inserted, then Octavio watches as Dave adjusts the camera feed.
Below, you can see the steam when heat is applied to the lining which is sealing the liner. The sample piece of liner I saw at an earlier meeting looked like white felt. I could see a seam in the CCTV view, and Dave said it is sewn together, then taped along the length of the liner. Snug as a bug in a rug, I would say! Thanks, Team!
