CTC 450 Review • WW Characteristics
Objectives • Understand the basics of storm drainage systems • Understand the basics of sewer systems
Storm Sewer System • Surface waters enter system through inlets • Water is then conveyed through pipes and manholes • Quantity of runoff is determined using the rational method (Q=CIA) • Velocities designed for 3-10 fps
Sanitary Sewer System • Laterals collect wastewaters to branch lines which are conveyed to large mains (also called trunks or outfall sewer) • Force main has WW conveyed under pressure via pumps • Sanitary sewers are placed deep enough to prevent freezing
Differences between Storm/Sewer • Storm systems are designed to overflow periodically (frequency) • Sewer systems are designed to contain all the wastewater; if surcharging occurs it’s usually a result of infiltration of stormwater • Stormwater pipes are much bigger than sewer pipes
Example 10-1 • What is the maximum population that can be served by an 8” sanitary sewer laid at minimum grade using a design flow of 400 gpcd & a flowing full velocity=2 ft/sec? • From Table 10-1 Q=310 gpm @ min. slope (full-flow) • 310 gpm / 400 gpcd (and adjust for units) • =1100 people (approx. 275 houses)
Example 10-1 (Continued) 7 Compute the diameter of storm drain to serve the same population based on the following: 30 people/acre; C=0.4, 10-yr frequency w/ IDF curve on page 123, tc=20 min, vel=5 ft/sec Area=37 acres Intensity=4.2” Q=62 cfs Assuming full-flow; Area=12.4 square ft Diameter=4 ft
Usually circular with an inside diameter of 4 feet Placed at all changes in sewer grade, pipe size, or alignments changes (horiz. & vertical) Also placed at all intersections, at the end of each line, and at distances not greater than 400 ft (<=15”) or 500 ft (>15”) Manholes

Service Connections • House service pipe is connected to the collecting sewer • Traps prevent backup of sewer gases into the building interior • Building vents prevent traps from being siphoned dry
Sewer Pipes and Jointing • Vitrified clay, PVC, or precast concrete may be used • DIP (ductile iron pipe) is used for force mains

Load on Buried Pipe • Loading on pipe must be considered • Common types of bedding are shown on page 345
Sewer Testing • Monitor infiltration (before connections) • Only works if pipe is below water line • Monitor exfiltration • Used if pipe above water line • Air testing
Lift (Pump) Stations • Pumping stations used when gravity flow not feasible • Avoid if possible because a nonfunctional lift station means that sewage water can back up into houses/businesses • Pumps can be installed in the wet well or kept separate from the wet well
