en.Wedoany.com Reported - The City of Owen Sound, Ontario, Canada, recently announced it will carry out infrastructure maintenance work during the spring and summer seasons, including sanitary sewer inspections and its annual fire hydrant inspection and maintenance program. Both infrastructure maintenance activities are scheduled to begin on May 4.

The City of Owen Sound has contracted Rapid Assessment Technical Services to inspect the sanitary sewer mains using rapid acoustic technology. "This non-invasive method allows crews to quickly and accurately assess pipe conditions, identifying potential issues such as blockages or structural weaknesses without disrupting service to residents," the city stated.

Meanwhile, the city will carry out its annual fire hydrant flushing and inspection program by zone as part of its infrastructure maintenance. Flushing begins at the location closest to the water treatment plant and progressively expands outward throughout the entire water distribution system. By the end of the process, every fire hydrant in Owen Sound will have been flushed.

Owen Sound's water distribution system includes approximately 684 fire hydrants, and its sewer network spans 118 kilometers, treating about 12 million liters of wastewater daily. Located in Ontario, Canada, the city's infrastructure maintenance program covers the water and wastewater networks across the entire municipality.
