Interceptor Systems Interceptor Systems maintains and operates more than
500 miles of interceptor pipeline (from 6 to 66 inches in diameter) and
81 pump stations in Hampton Roads to deliver wastewater from municipal collection systems
to our treatment plants. Interceptor Services is responsible for evaluatingrequests to connect to the HRSD system and assisting in the location of these connections. As our communities grow, Interceptor Engineers respond to changes such as road construction projects, which often affect HRSD facilities and pipelines. Engineers provide hydraulic modeling support for internal and external needs and review of local projects affecting HRSD to ensure compliance with HRSD standards. Systems Reliability conducts HRSD's Inflow/Infiltration Elimination program, which helps keep storm water and ground water from the system. They also inspect the interceptors to ensure replacement or renovation before problems occur. They perform specialized investigations of our pipes and pump stations using flow and pressure monitors and CCTV equipment to support complex analyses of these interconnected systems. In addition, Reliability manages the HRSD Corrosion Control and Cathodic Protection Program to prevent premature failure of HRSD facilities.

This nine-minute video is a useful guide to pump station operations that will reduce pipeline corrosion and failure caused by air entrainment. Because the proper and efficient management, operation and maintenance of our facilities are essential to HRSD's ability to protect public health and the environment, we take all reasonable steps necessary to minimize Sanitary System Overflows (SSOs) and to provide adequate system capacity. HRSD has developed a Capacity, Management, Operations and Maintenance (CMOM) program by which our various departments and divisions work together to achieve our CMOM (pdf) goals. Engineered Connections Facilities Management Plan The annual Facilities Management Plan projects HRSD interceptor system and wastewater treatment plant facility needs for the next eight years. It provides for planning and implementing new projects before HRSD's interceptor systems and wastewater treatment plants exceed their intended capacity. Facilities Management Plan 2006
