Infiltration and Inflow in 2022: A Brave New World

In 2021, the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) published “Developing an Efficient and Cost-Effective Infiltration & Inflow (I/I) Program”, SCC, 2021. This presentation will introduce the guideline and the approach that ongoing I/I management across municipal organizations is a fundamental component of operating a sewer system. It will also explain why private-side I/I is an integral part of a sewer system.

Speakers

Barbara Robinson, P.Eng.

Barbara, a professional engineer specializing in all aspects of sewer systems, established Norton Engineering Inc. in 2015. Norton Engineering provides services across Canada, helping municipal, provincial and federal governments and agencies with infiltration and inflow. Norton, working with ICLR, proposed the need for, and delivered to SCC, two Seed Documents, “Reducing the Risk of I/I in New Sewer Construction” (November 2019), and “Guideline to Developing an Efficient and Cost-Effective I/I Reduction Program” (spring 2021). Barbara is solicited to author, contribute to, or review most national I/I and urban flood protection documents. She speaks widely on sewers and related topics.
