YORK COUNTY CASE STUDY

Project Overview

Client: York County Public Works

Location: York County, Virginia, USA

Challenge: Transition from septic to public sewer while managing inflow, infiltration, and diverse terrain requirements.

Key Outcomes:

  • Migration of septic systems to public sewer.
  • Advanced monitoring reduced inflow and infiltration.
  • Implementation of both gravity and vacuum systems.

Introduction

York County, Virginia, faced the challenge of transitioning from outdated septic systems to a modern public sewer system, while addressing issues like inflow and infiltration (I&I) and the county’s varied terrain. The project aimed to protect the Chesapeake Bay watershed and enhance the local infrastructure.

The solution included a combination of gravity and vacuum sewer systems, supported by advanced telemetry for real-time monitoring and proactive maintenance. Community education programs were also integral in promoting sustainable practices. The initiative resulted in improved water quality, reduced I&I, and enhanced operational efficiency, while ensuring reliable sewer services for the residents of York County.
