Page 17. <br /> amount of clear water component (infiltration and inflow) that <br /> enters a community' s sewer system. The infiltration and inflow <br /> consist of unpolluted water which wastewater facilities must <br /> convey and treat with the sewage. The additional cost of <br /> treating infiltration and/or inflow is high enough in some <br /> cases tfiat it is cheaper to reduce the amount of infiltration <br /> and/or inflow entering the sewers. Other pertinent components <br /> . are the residential, industrial, commercial, and institutional <br /> � contributions of sewage. <br /> P�astewater flows from 27 communities were analyzed for the <br /> Southwest Study Area. Characterization of the infiltration/ <br /> inflow (I/I) component of these flows indicated that further <br /> analysis of I/I was warranted for 15 communities. (For the <br /> other 12 communities the available data indicated the I/I is <br /> not excessive and further analysis was not warranted. ) Sub- <br /> sequent analyses for these 15 communities are part of the <br /> preparation of the "Facilities Plan" and are to be presented <br /> in the final report. <br /> Results of the analysis of community flows were used to <br /> estimate future wastewater flows from projected population and <br /> employment increases. The interim report which presents a <br /> discussion of each corununity' s wastewater flows is on file <br /> with the MWCC. <br />
