the Sewer Maintenance Department
The Mishawaka sewer collection system has a service
area which includes the City of Mishawaka and portions of Clay,
Penn, and Harris Townships. The service area for the collection
system covers approximately 16.92 square miles. It is estimated
that collection system comprising of storm sewer, sanitary sewer
and combined sewer totals over 200 miles of sewer in the service
area. The Mishawaka sewer collection system is a combination of
pipe sizes ranging from 8 inch, the standard sanitary sewer pipe
diameter, to 120-inch, our largest storm sewer pipe.
The Sewer Maintenance Department has a continual preventive maintenance
program, which consists of the routine inspection of the collection
system. The maintenance program is assisted by a vactor truck for
sewer cleaning and sewer video inspection equipment, truck, and
technical crew for structural inspections of pipe and associated
structures. Our preventative maintenance program has helped to eliminate
expensive emergency operations, reduce or eliminate basement flooding,
prolong the life of the community's collection system and minimize
damaging surface structures such as streets and sidewalks.
