Does that mean that because they are not spraying and watering that there is less that they are actually taking
out of the ground, in other words, I’m thinking it is more efficient than using the vac.
Mr. Ibarra
That’s correct. In a Vactor you would get a cleaner basin, but catch basins are designed with a sump so it is
designed to catch the silt and keep it below the invert of the pipe or the lip where the water runs out. So they
are supposed to be cleaned every 3 years in a rotation and in that time the silt will accumulate Cleaning with a
manual and getting that silt out, will minimize the grit that ends up down at the plant also, so that it will benefit
there.
