PROPOSED SEPARATE SANITARY SEWER BASIN 14 IMPROVEMENTS
SUBJ:
Background
The Village-owned wastewater collection system is comprised of over 72 distinct drainage
basins. Whether the flow in these basins is combined (storm water and sanitary waste), or
separate (only sanitary waste), all of it ultimately flows into the interceptor sewer system owned
and operated by the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (MWRDGC).
Each basin has a separate connection to the MWRDGC interceptor system. Consequently, the
Village has over 72 different MWRDGC connections. Generally, most basins are distinct
entities and are not connected to one another.
In turn, the MWRDGC interceptor system transports wastewater from these basins for treatment
at either the North Side Wastewater Treatment Plant in Skokie, Illinois or the Kirie Wastewater
Treatment Plant in Des Plaines, Illinois. The interceptor system that serves Mount Prospect
also features drop shaft connections to the Tunnel and Reservoir Plan (TARP). TARP is more
commonly known as the "Deep Tunnel". It also includes the large reservoir viewable from the
east-bound access ramp for 1~90 on Elmhurst Road. The TARP improvements are intended to
provide region-wide relief for flooding associated with severe weather events.
From a maintenance perspective, it is useful to,think about the wastewater collection system in
terms of basins rather than a single complex system. Typically, defects within a particular basin
only impact tributary properties. Conversely, improvements within a basin also usually only
benefit properties within the same basin. For these reasons, it makes sense to organize
maintenance activities and improvements according to basins.
Basin 14 is a single-family residential neighborhood generally bounded by Lincoln Street, We
Go Trail, Busse Avenue, and Waverly Avenue. There are no commercial or industrial wastes
generated within this basin. Attached for your reference, is a map depicting the area
(Attachment 1).
This basin serves 171 single-family homes and an estimated population of 442 people. Most of
the houses in this neighborhood were constructed between 1955 and 1975. Most of the homes
(152) feature gravity sewer systems with direct footing or foundation tile connections.
Attachment 2 depicts the homes with direct foundation drain connections. These homes drain
to a Village-owned separate sanitary sewer system primarily comprised of 8" diameter vitrified
clay pipe that generally flows from the north to south. The 8,400 LF of sewer mains in this basin

connect to the MWRDGC interceptor system in the Lincoln Street right-of-way near 1100 West
Lincoln. A map of the wastewater collection system in Basin 14 is included in Attachment 3.
Problem Statement
Since 2001, staff has received basement back-up complaints from 15 different properties in
Basin 14. Of these, 6 were determined to be the result of poor flow in the Village-owned sewer
mains. A map of these locations is attached as Attachment 4. The remaining 9 complaints
were associated with private property plumbing problems such as root accumulations or pipe
failures on sewer service laterals.
The 6 complaints attributable to the Village-owned sewer system are notable because they were
the consequence of rather nominal wet weather events. Specifically, these basements flooded
following relatively light 1"-2" rains. Normally, rainfalls of this intensity do not induce basement
flooding.
More significantly, crews reacting to these flooding complaints were unable to locate blockages
or failures that could have caused the Village sewer mains to surcharge. It appeared the
basement flooding was a consequence of too much rain water entering the separate
sanitary sewer system. Separate sanitary sewer systems like Basin 14 are designed to
convey only sanitary wastewater; not storm-induced clear water.
Analysis
From 2001 to 2008, staff has performed a number of investigative and repair activities designed
to identify and remove potential sources of clear water entry into Basin 14. Joining staff in these
efforts were engineers and technicians from Burns and McDonnell. Burns & McDonnell is a full-
service engineering consulting firm from Oak Brook, Illinois. Randy Patchett, the project
manager for the Basin 14 work, was a principal designer of many successful Mount Prospect
sewer improvement projects including the Hatlen Heights Sanitary Sewer Improvements, the
Prospect Manor/North Main Sewer Improvements, and the Fairview Garden Sanitary Sewer
Improvements. A summary of these efforts is provided below:
Sewer Televising
All 8,400 LF of sanitary sewer mains in Basin 14 have been inspected and evaluated utilizing
closed circuit televising equipment twice. The first effort was initiated in 2001 and revealed a
number of potential defects in the Village-owned system that could facilitate the entry of
unwanted clear water. These defects prompted sewer main lining, manhole repairs, and pipe
replacement projects described in greater detail below. The entire basin was again televised in
2008 and 2009. This second inspection revealed that most of the pipe in the basin was now in
good or very good condition. Although some additional sewer lining and spot repair work has
been scheduled for the near future, it appears unlikely that significant further reductions in clear
water volumes can be gleaned solely from improvements to Village mains.
Manhole Inspections
All 42 manholes in Basin 14 have been visually inspected for sources of clear water entry.
Crews followed a detailed checklist and condition rating system that required entry into the
manhole and generated a complete assessment of the structure from the invert of the pipe to
the grade of the surface around the manhole cover. This effort identified 18 manholes in need
of minor repairs.

All of the homes in Basin 14 have been inspected for improper connections to the separate
sanitary sewer system. Improper connections include sump pump discharges, footing or
foundation tile connections, downspout connections, area drain connections, and external
basement stairwell drain connections. As indicated previously, the majority of homes in Basin
14 have improper footing or foundation tile connections. Although these types of connections
were permitted when the homes were originally constructed, they are technically a violation of
current MWRGC regulations and Village Code. Burns & McDonnell estimates that the footing
tile connections in Basin 14 can discharge over 600,000 gallons of clear water to the separate
sanitary sewer system during a nominal rain event.
Smoke Testing
Smoke testing of sewers is a technique in which non-toxic smoke is blown into temporarily
sealed sewer segments to identify leaks or defects capable of facilitating clear water entry that
are not readily discernable utilizing cameras or visual observations. If smoke can reach the
surface, then unwanted clear water can also reach the sewer main. Smoke testing in Basin 14
revealed 1 defect in a Village sewer main (a segment of pipe with a deteriorated crown), 3
leaking sewer service laterals, 2 leaking service line clean-outs, 1 improper sump pump
discharge, and 13 uncovered window well drains. No cross connections between the separate
sanitary system and the storm sewer system were identified. The Village main defect was
corrected by cured-in-place-pipe lining and the improper sump pump discharge was corrected.
The remaining defects were found on private property. None were corrected.
Hydraulic Evaluation
Burns and McDonnell performed a hydraulic evaluation of Basin 14 during a mild rain event in
May 2006. During the 24-hour period preceding the evaluation, the basin received 0.49 inches
of rain. During the 1-hour evaluation, the basin received an additional 0.17 inches of rain.
Throughout the basin, a dramatic response to the rainfall was noted. In general, the flow in
pipes quickly jumped from 1/8 of the pipe diameter at the upstream end of the basin to slightly
over % of the pipe diameter near the downstream connection to the MWRDGC interceptor.
Burns & McDonnell was able to determine that the observed flow out of this basin equated to
189,000 gallons per day. Previous dry-weather flow monitoring revealed that the bona fide
sanitary flow should be 28,000 gallons per day. These calculations suggest that approximately
161,000 gallons (189,000 - 28,000) of clear water had entered the sanitary sewers during this
light rain event. Based on this performance, albeit a limited evaluation, Burns & McDonnell
estimates that Basin 14 sanitary sewers only provide a 2-year level of protection against
sanitary back-ups. In simpler terms, there is a 98% chance in any given year that the basin will
receive a rainfall that will cause the sewers to surcharge.
Flow Monitoring
In 2006 and 2007, flow monitors were placed at various locations inside Basin 14 to measure
the volume and rate of flow during both dry and wet weather. The results confirmed previous
conclusions that the basin was inundated with an inordinate amount of clear water during rain
events. Flows reaching 714 gallons per capita per day were measured following a 1-inch, 24.
hour rain event. This rate of flow far exceeds the measured average flow of 323 gallons per
Page 4 of 8
Proposed Separate Sanitary Sewer Basin 14 Improvements
May 4, 2009
capita per day in most of the Village's other separate sanitary sewer basins. This rate of flow
also exceeds the maximum flow rate of 673 gallons per capita per day that the Village is
permitted to discharge to the MWRDGC interceptor system. Pursuant to our long term
maintenance agreement with the MWRDGC, the Village is obligated to reduce this excessive
flow.
Rehabilitation Work
As previously indicated, initial televising and inspection work in Basin 14 revealed a number
defects in the Village-owned facilities that were capable of introducing clear water into the
separate sanitary system. Subsequently, staff initiated a series of projects designed to
eliminate or correct these defects. A summary of these efforts is provided below.
Sewer Lining
Approximately 3,100 LF of the 8,400 LF of separate sanitary sewer mains in Basin 14 (37%)
have been rehabilitated utilizing the cured-in-place-pipe (CIPP) lining process. A map of lined
pipes is depicted in Attachment 5. This trenchless technology essentially inserts and cures a
liner inside an existing pipe in a manner that improves structural reliability and permanently
seals pipe or joint defects that can facilitate the entry of unwanted clear water. An estimated
$60,000 has been spent lining sewer mains in Basin 14 to date.
Manhole Repairs
All 18 of the manholes identified as containing defects facilitating clear water entry into the
sanitary sewer system have been repaired. Generally, this work included replacing open pick-
hole covers with solid recessed pick-hole lids, replacing the manhole cover frame, and repairing
defective spacer bricks or concrete between the manhole frame and top of the manhole
structure. These types of defects were capable of facilitating a relatively minor amount of clear
water infiltration during storm events. In addition, 1 concrete block manhole found in poor
structural condition was completely replaced with a reinforced precast concrete manhole. An
estimated $11,000 has been spent on manhole repairs in Basin 14 to date.
Spot Repairs
Spot repairs are excavated pipe replacements necessitated when the condition of the pipe
prohibits lining with the cured-in-place-pipe system. Collapsed, disconnected, or out-of-round
pipes are examples of conditions that would require excavation and replacement. 2 spot repairs
were identified in Basin 14. One repair included the replacement of approximately 20 LF of
collapsed 8" diameter clay sewer pipe in the rear yard easement behind 1011 Pendleton. This
work was completed in 2008. The other project is the replacement of approximately 160 LF of
8" diameter clay sanitary sewer pipe in the We Go Park sewer easement. It is necessary to
remove a slight sag in the sewer main. Although this sag does not introduce an appreciable
amount of clear water to the sewer system, it does impact the hydraulic gradient of the basin
and slows the flow of wastewater. This work is slated for 2009. In total, an estimated $121,000
will be spent on sewer main spot repairs in Basin 14 by the end of 2009.
Solutions
Relief Sewer
Despite these investigatory and rehabilitative efforts, the problem of excessive clear water entry
into Basin 14 sanitary sewers remains significant. One potential further improvement to
Page 5 of 8
Proposed Separate Sanitary Sewer Basin 14 Improvements
May 4, 2009
consider involves increasing the capacity of the existing sanitary sewer system to accept storm
water surges. This approach has been utilized successfully in the Village on other projects such
as the Maple/Berkshire Sanitary Sewer Improvements and the See Gwun/Milburn Sanitary
Improvements. It is also the underlying principle of the famous "Deep Tunnel" project
constructed by the MWRDGC.
The most common way of increasing the capacity of the existing sanitary sewer system is to
construct a relief sewer. A relief sewer is an underground detention system that stores wet
weather flows during surcharging conditions. Water detained in the relief sewer would then be
discharged by gravity or pumped back into the existing sanitary sewer as surcharging conditions
subsided.
Historically, the Village has sought a 25-year level of protection when constructing separate
sanitary sewer system improvements. A 25-year storm deposits at least 5.51 inches of rain in a
24-hour period. In Basin 14, providing such protection would necessitate the construction of a
relief sewer capable of temporarily storing as much as 1 million gallons of water. For your
reference, it would take approximately 1,700 feet of 10-foot diameter pipe to store this much
water.
A possible location for such a relief sewer is under the pavement of We Go Trail and Lincoln
Street. Attachment 6 depicts potential siting for this improvement. This depiction illustrates a
conceptual installation of 10-foot diameter pipe. Pumping facilities for the detention system
would also be required and would include two submersible pumps, a force main, separate
power supply, and telemetry connected to the Village's supervisory control and data acquisition
(SCADA) system to transmit high water level and power outage alarms.
A budgetary cost for installation of an underground detention system as described above is
approximately $2,800,000. This cost includes engineering and construction including pumps,
force main, power supply, telemetry for the SCADA system, and site restoration.
Disconnect Footing Drains and Install Overhead Sewers
Due to the significant impact of foundation drains on wet weather flows, the removal of
foundation drains is another alternative that could be considered. For your reference,
Attachment 7 contains a detailed description of the scope of work involved with footing drain
disconnection and overhead sewer installation.
This approach holds the promise of permanently removing a significant amount of clear water
flow from sanitary sewer system. For Basin 14, 152 foundation drains is the estimated
maximum number that would be required to be disconnected. Overhead plumbing would also
need to be installed in each residence where foundation drains have been disconnected. At an
average cost of $16,000 per residence the total estimated cost to disconnect all the drains is
$2,432,000.
The elimination of foundation drains would require considerable coordination with homeowners
in the basin. Since the number of residences that experience significant flooding is small (- 6
properties), it is expected that far fewer than 152 foundation drains would actually need to be
disconnected to mitigate basement flooding problems. If it is assumed that the 6 homes
reported to have experienced basement flooding participate and an additional 20 homes elect to
Page 6 of 8
Proposed Separate Sanitary Sewer Basin 14 Improvements
May 4, 2009
have their foundation drains eliminated, the total cost for implementation of this alternative
scales down to an estimated $416,000.
However, even if implemented on a reduced scale, the impact on the basin could still be
significant. To begin with, the basement flooding problem attributable to the Village sewer
system would likely be permanently resolved regardless of the size of a rain event.
Additionally, a significant amount of clear water would be permanently removed from sanitary
sewer system thereby increasing the capacity of the existing sewers and reducing the potential
hazards for neighbors who do not elect to upgrade their sewer services. Each disconnected
footing drain removes as much as 4,300 - 5800 gallons per day from the separate sanitary
sewer system during rain events. Even if only 26 homes participated in this program, 107,500-
150,800 gallons of clear water would be permanently removed from the sanitary sewer system
each rainy day.
Recommendations
1. Staff recommends elimination of direct footing or foundation tiles connections and the
installation of overhead sewers as the best solution to basement flooding problems in
Basin 14.
In general, basement flooding and sewer surcharging in Basin 14 is caused by
excessive clear water flow from private sector sources. This solution best
addresses the crux of the problem. By comparison, construction of a relief sewer
only addresses the impact of the problem and does nothing to eliminate or
reduce the cause of the problem.
More significantly, elimination of foundation drains and the installation of
overhead sewers provides virtually complete protection against basement back-
ups caused by surcharging sewer mains. By comparison, a detention or relief
sewer system as proposed can only provide a designed level protection against a
25Nyear storm event (5.51 inches of rain). If a rain event exceeds this threshold,
sewer surcharging and basement back-ups remain possible.
Furthermore, elimination of private sector clear water is the only improvement
that helps the Village comply with MWRDGC flow rate requirements. As
discussed previously (Analysis: Flow Monitoring), Basin 14 exceeds the flow rate
(673 gpcpd) established for the Village of Mount Prospect. Construction of a
relief sewer or continued public sector sewer main improvements (such as lining
all the sewer mains in the basin) would do little to reduce our rate of discharge to
the MWRDGC. The removal of footing drains and the elimination of the
associated clear water flow would likely have a notable and favorable impact on
Basin 14 discharge flow rate.
Additionally and perhaps more importantly, the disconnection of footing tiles and
installation of overhead sewers is a more cost effective solution in this instance.
A detention or relief system is estimated to cost $2,800,000. This estimate does
not include on-going annual costs for maintenance and operation. Even if all
Page 7 of 8
Proposed Separate Sanitary Sewer Basin 14 Improvements
May 4, 2009
eligible homes in the basin upgrade their sewer services, the total cost is
estimated to be $2,432,000. However, it is important to emphasize that it is
highly unlikely that all 152 homes with direct footing tile connections would need
or be inclined to participate in such a program. In fact, significant improvements
could be realized if only the 6 homes who have experienced sewer main-induced
basement flooding participated ($96,000).
2. Staff also recommends that the cost of this project be shared with private property
owners. Private property owners are significant contributors of clear water flow in this
basin and those that elect to participate will benefit directly.
Many communities, including the Village of Palatine and the Village of Arlington
Heights, have opted to implement a cost sharing program with residents for the
removal of foundation drains in separate sanitary sewer areas similar to Basin
14. In these programs, the municipality provides partial reimbursement to those
residents who elect to have their foundation drains removed and overhead
sewers installed. For your reference, Attachment 8 contains a listing of cost-
share sewer improvement programs offered by area communities.
3. Staff suggests that the Village implement a program whereby residents are reimbursed
for 2/3 of the cost to install overhead sewers and eliminate footing drain connections up
to a cap of $12,000 per home. Staff recommends initiating a phase 1 Basin 14 overhead
sewer installation and footing drain disconnection program funded to a level of $312,000.
This level of funding would facilitate the requisite private sector sewer improvements in
26 homes.
As noted previously, the estimated cost to install overhead sewers and eliminate
footing drain connections in an average Mount Prospect home is $16,000.
Should the Village elect to implement such a program, the potential cost to the
Village would range from $72,000 (6 residences) to $312,000 ($26 residences) to
$1,824,000 (152 residences) depending on the number of residences electing to
have their foundation drains removed. For your consideration, a sample
brochure advertising this program is included as Attachment 9.
The Finance Department has indicated that the water/sewer enterprise fund
currently has sufficient resources to support a limited implementation of such a
cost-share program. Staff recommends that if sanctioned, the program should
be specifically budgeted and disbursements should be limited to available
budgeted funds on an annual basis.
4. Staff recommends strictly limiting this program to single-family homeowner projects that
include the installation of overhead sewers and the disconnection of footing drains from
the Village-owned separate sanitary Of combined sewer systems.
The emphasis of this program should be the permanent elimination of clear water
from Village wastewater systems. As discussed previously, the introduction of
excess clear water into main sewer systems is a leading cause of surcharged
sewers and basement back~ups. Private property sewer improvements such as
Page 8 of 8
Proposed Separate Sanitary Sewer Basin 14 Improvements
May 4,2009
sewer service line repairs, sewer service tine replacements, c1ean"out
installations, or the installation of backwater valves do not help eliminate or
reduce the flow of clear water and should not be eligible projects for this cost"
share program.
Additionally, direct footing drain connections have been prohibited by Village and
MWRDGC codes in all new structures constructed since 1970. Private property
sewer improvements subsidized by Village funds should seek to increase
compliance with these codes.
5. Staff recommends a Village code modification that will specifically prohibit the installation
of private property sewer backflow prevention or flood control devices that include by-
passing pumping in areas served by separate sanitary or combined sewers.
Our work in Basin 14 has clearly identified that clear water from private property
is problematic for separate sanitary sewer basins. Plumbing devices that allow
property owners to avoid basement back-ups by closing a mechanical valve on
their sewer service line and then pump the water originating from their property
over the valve into the Village-owned wastewater collection system under
pressure only exacerbates surcharging conditions and can induce basement
back-up problems for neighboring homes.
6. Staff recommends expanding this cost share program to all singleHfamily homes served
by the Village-owned wastewater collection system. Staff recommends initiating a
Village-wide overhead sewer and footing drain disconnection program pilot project
funded to a level of $72,000. This level of funding would facilitate the overhead sewer
installations and footing drain disconnections at 6 homes.
The elimination of clear water from sewer systems would be beneficial for all
Village-owned wastewater collection basins.
There is anecdotal evidence that there may be substantive private sector interest
in this type of cost-share program on a Village-wide basis. For many years, the
Community Development Department has offered a cost-share program design
to offset the costs of private sector flood prevention projects such as the
installation of backwater valves. This program reimburses residents for 20% of
costs up to a maximum of $1,000 per home. Each year, approximately $5,000 is
budgeted for this program. This year, the budget for this program has already
been expended.
Staff recommends continuing the existing Community Development flood
prevention rebate program while adding the proposed overhead sewer and
footing drain disconnection program as a separate and disti t offering.

What is Footing Drain Disconnection?
As shown on Figure 1 below, footing drains are small, pervious drainage pipes (also
commonly called "drainage tiles") located near the foundation of your house. They are
intended to keep rainwater that seeps through the ground from building up along the
foundation or basement walls. In many homes, the downspouts, which carry rainwater
from the gutters, discharge near the foundation walls. This water can drain through the
soils and into the footing drains.

Figure 1 - Pre-construction Conditions
In most homes constructed before the 1980s, the footing drains are connected to the
house sanitary connection (house lead) as shown in the figure above. This house lead
carries the footing drain flow and wastewater from the house to the sanitary sewer
system.
When it is not raining this is not normally a problem, but during a severe storm event
too much rainwater can enter the sanitary sewer system. This excess flow can cause the
mixture of rainwater and wastewater to backup in the house lead of some homes and
cause basement backups.
Footing drain disconnection is performed to remove the rainwater flows from the
sanitary sewer system. This is accomplished using the following steps:
1. Disconnect the footing drains from the house sanitary lead and install a sump pump to move water
from the footing drains into the stormwater system. If the connection to the sanitary house lead is
inside the basement, the sump is installed in the basement as shown in Figure 2 below.
For most homes, the sump discharge will not be connected into the existing storm sewer system but will
instead be discharged overland to rain gardens, low areas, etc.

Mount Prospect
Overhead Sewer Program
Sewage in your basement is a ter-
rible experience and one most
people would not care to revisit.
Unfortunately, basement back-
ups have been on the rise in
Mount Prospect due to unusually
wet weather and the prevalence
of older, gravity-style plumbing
systems in many homes.
Figure 1 on the back depicts a
typical gravity style plumbing sys-
tem widely utilized during the
1920s - 1970s when much of
Mount Prospect was developed.
This type of plumbing system is
highly susceptible to basement
flooding caused by excess water
from footing drains or surcharg-
ing water from sewer mains.
Figure 2 below depicts an over-
head sewer plumbing system.
Overhead sewers have been in-
stalled exclusively on all new con-
struction since the mid-1970s.
Overhead sewers feature a sump
pump that discharges footing
drain water to the surface and
elevated or overhead sewers in
the basement that discharge sani-
tary waste to the sewer main. It
is almost impossible to experi-
ence a basement sanitary back-up
in a home plumbed with overhead
sewers.
Here's The Deal...The Village will
contribute 2/3rds of the cost to
install overhead sewers and re-
move footing drain connections
from your sanitary sewer service
up to a maximum of $12,000.
Only single-family homes served
by the Villagenowned sewer sys-
tem are eligible for this program.
Funding will be limited by avail-
able budget. Homes with a verifi-
able history of sanitary basement
back-ups will have priority.
If you would like more informa-
tion about this program, visit our
website or contact Public Works.
