Maintenance Department

The RVRSA maintenance department is responsible for a multitude of preventative maintenance tasks. It performs the preventative and unanticipated maintenance on a daily basis to minimize equipment failure, reduce excess cost, and insure the plant operates as efficiently as possible.

These duties include maintaining, rebuilding, and replacing bearings, pumps, motors, blowers, grit equipment, chemical feed systems, pressure regulators, sludge thickening equipment, odor control systems, variable frequency drives (VFD’s), process control monitoring instruments, grounds keeping and fleet maintenance.

The maintenance department is also solely responsible for the trunk line interceptor, which consists of approximately 26 miles of main trunk, as well as branch interceptor lines. This also includes 22 metering stations along the length of the trunk line; which are used for billing purposes, as well as 4 siphon chambers.

On the trunk line, the maintenance department is responsible for inspecting and maintaining, not only the main trunk line, but also the metering chambers as well. In addition a combination sewer cleaner is used on the trunk line.

Along with these tasks, the maintenance department also transports the dewatered sludge for offsite disposal and is also on stand-by to assist our contributing towns in the event of a sewer blockage or other problems that may incur within our service area.
