Overview
Cured in place pipe (CIPP) lining is a less invasive method of sewer rehabilitation. The process requires little to no digging and significantly less time to complete than other repair methods. CIPP involves inserting a flexible liner inside the existing pipeline, inflating the liner, and exposing it to heat to dry and harden the resin inside. The liner essentially forms a smooth surface inside of the existing pipe, restoring it to near-new condition.

What to Expect
Water shut-offs and reductions
- Residents will be asked to limit water and sewer use during the lining process.
- Property connections to the public sewer will be temporarily sealed off during the pipe lining.
- Using less water helps prevent water from filling up a private sewer line and backing up into a home or business.
- Residents will be notified at least 48 hours prior to lining activities beginning. Normal water and sewer use may resume once crews have left the work zone.
- Residents should expect these operations to last between 2-8 hours.
Unpleasant odors may be present
- This smell will dissipate once the lining process is complete.
- A tip to prevent the odor from entering the home or business through the sewer is to fill any floor drains and infrequently used sinks with a small amount of water.
- This will collect in the bend in the drain, called a "P-trap", and block odors from the sewer.
- If the odor is already present, cover floor drains and open windows to allow ventilation. If the odor continues, phone or email the contacts on the contractor's construction notice.
Construction zone
- Signage and flaggers will be in place as needed to direct traffic through the work zone.
- Working hours:
- 8:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. on major arterial and neighborhood collector roads.
- 7:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m. on local residential roads.
- Some construction noise may be present.
