The City Of Kitchener has operated an annual program of sanitary sewer inspection using CCTV
methods and equipment since 1997. This inspection process collects and records information
about the current condition and performance of the City's sanitary sewer network. This
information is then used in assessing and prioritizing future maintenance programs, rehabilitation
programs, and reconstruction projects for the City's sanitary sewer system. Without this
information, the selection and prioritization process for these works would have to be completed
with little or no understanding of the actual conditions of the sewer network, which would be
considered a very undesirable methodology for such processes. This inspection process is of
high value in this regard, as it is the only reliable, accurate, and economically feasible method of
observing and recording the conditions of the sewer network for later analysis.
