The Boroughs Sanitary Sewer System was constructed in the 1920s and includes approximately 10 miles of pipes and 350 manholes. The Borough sewage is conveyed through Cheltenham Township and is treated in the Philadelphia Water & Sewage plant. The PAdep is the regulatory agency that oversees all sanitary sewage and related activities. The Borough continues to repair and improve the existing system to meet State and Federal regulations.
In 2015, Jenkintown Borough televised portions of our sanitary sewer systems to determine sources of I&I (Infiltration and Inflow). All televised inspections were completed in accordance with the National Association of Sewer Service Companies (NASSCO) standards. Jenkintown Borough then commissioned Pennoni Associates Inc. to review the inspection report and videos available to evaluate the condition of the sanitary sewer mains and complete a final Sanitary Sewer Evaluation & Recommendation Report to allow for the Borough to address the deficiencies in the system. This report estimated repairs to the entire sanitary sewer main system in excess of $500,000. The 2019 Sewer project focuses on the West Avenue drainage basin. Rehabilitation methods include spot repairs, cured in place pipe (CIPP) lining, root control and grouting. This project does not require excavation and all repairs are expected to be performed underground and from inside the sanitary sewer system.
