Runoff Sources: Manatawna Avenue to Spring Lane
![Page 19: Proposed Project: Spring Lane and Hendren Street Storm and Sanitary Sewer](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/559400ed1a28ab9f458b4571/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Runoff Sources: Hendren Street and Yards to Spring Lane
![Page 20: Proposed Project: Spring Lane and Hendren Street Storm and Sanitary Sewer](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/559400ed1a28ab9f458b4571/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Summary of Observations:
PWD’s installation of storm sewers/inlets in Manatawna Avenue, Hendren Street and Spring Lane will provide control of stormwater from city streets and public rights-of-way, however, runoff from private property, driveways and roof tops will need to be directed and connected to this infrastructure.
![Page 21: Proposed Project: Spring Lane and Hendren Street Storm and Sanitary Sewer](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/559400ed1a28ab9f458b4571/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Manatawna Stormwater Improvements
Inlets can be added in Manatawna to intercept this street runoffHOWEVER, this represents only a small fraction of the total land area currently contributing to Hendren and Spring flooding.

PWD Analysis: Significant Runoff Generators
Surface Character affects the amount of runoffImpervious Surface like roofs, drives, streets and walks prohibit infiltration of stormwater. Nearly 100% RunoffPervious, Vegetated Surfaces absorb some runoff, however runoff still occurs, especially in more intense storms
![Page 29: Proposed Project: Spring Lane and Hendren Street Storm and Sanitary Sewer](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/559400ed1a28ab9f458b4571/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Watershed Statistics: Impervious Surface
25 Acres Total Drainage Area
25% Impervious (6.3 acres)2.3 acres streets (public)4.0 acres roof tops and driveways (privately owned)
75% Pervious (18.6 acres – privately owned)
![Page 30: Proposed Project: Spring Lane and Hendren Street Storm and Sanitary Sewer](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/559400ed1a28ab9f458b4571/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Public vs. Private Runoff Generators
Runoff from streets and public rights-of-way 2.3 Acres or 9%
Yards, roofs and driveways 18.5 acres + 4 Acres = 22.5 Acres or 91%
![Page 31: Proposed Project: Spring Lane and Hendren Street Storm and Sanitary Sewer](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/559400ed1a28ab9f458b4571/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Sanitary Sewer Service
Existing Sanitary ChallengesOf the respondents to the survey, 62% indicated that their existing septic system was only in “fair” or “poor” condition
![Page 32: Proposed Project: Spring Lane and Hendren Street Storm and Sanitary Sewer](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/559400ed1a28ab9f458b4571/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Sanitary Sewer Design Considerations
Spring LaneSouth side of Spring served by a standard depth gravity sewer.
A new pump station will require acquisition of additional right-of-way
![Page 33: Proposed Project: Spring Lane and Hendren Street Storm and Sanitary Sewer](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/559400ed1a28ab9f458b4571/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Sanitary Sewer Design Considerations
Hendren StreetSouth side residents (uphill) can be served by standard depth (8-feet Separate) sewersNorth side residents (downhill) are below standard depth sewers

PWD Stormwater Remedies:
Localized Damage solution is available; Repair damage at Spring Lane outfall
Interim: Armor and reinforce

PWD Stormwater Remedies:
Construction of a Storm Sewer pipe and inlet system in public rights of way is possible
Will provide for safe conveyance of captured runoff
Will fortify repair of damaged Spring Lane outfall and protect forcemain
![Page 38: Proposed Project: Spring Lane and Hendren Street Storm and Sanitary Sewer](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/559400ed1a28ab9f458b4571/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Actions Required beyond PWD’s Proposed Stormwater Remedies:
Doesn’t Solve the Entire ProblemRequires that private property runoff be redirected to intercept 100% of runoffWill not resolve homeowner flooding emanating from private property runoff

PWD Sanitary Sewer Remedies:
Construction of Sanitary Sewer and Pump station is possible
Will provide alternative to replacement of failing septic systemsRequires additional efforts to provide service to entire neighborhood
Downslope properties that have plumbing discharge below street level may need to install ejector/grinder pumps

Steps to Obtain Public Sewers
Residents signed petition to PWD or their CouncilpersonCity Council Ordinance is required for a public sewerProcess from Ordinance to construction can take a few years
