City to use drone to identify areas of stormwater inflow/infiltration into sewer system
posted on 5/16/2026
As part of an ongoing effort to reduce stormwater flow into the sanitary sewer system, the city will be working with a consultant to fly a drone over areas of the city to help identify potential direct connections to the wastewater collection system. Common sources include roof drains on flat roofs and roof gutters.
Weather and conditions permitting, the drone flyover is anticipated to occur Wednesday, May 20 through Friday, May 21.
The camera-equipped drone is expected to remain over any individual rooftop for no more than 5 to 10 minutes, depending on roof size, before moving on. Wright-Pierce is the contractor. Wright-Pierce is also doing video camera work of the sewer system in the Broadway area.
The city will be evaluating three areas for this phase of the drone flyover: Bellamy Road/Old Littleworth Road, the Broadway neighborhood, and the Mount Vernon/Grove/Maple neighborhood.
