Our System Needs Help
As we creep into the 21st century, the water and wastewater systems of The Hideout are deteriorating. Flows to the wastewater treatment plant, normally 4 hundred thousand gallons per day, are reaching amounts of greater than 4 million gallons per day after a rain event. Over a hundred repairs were made to the water system during 2009. Potable water loss is greater than fifty percent of what we are pumping from the ground. Band-aid repairs to the systems are no longer enough. A full scale evaluation is required in order to plan for and conduct major upgrades.
BREAKING GROUND WITH ROAMINGWOOD SEWER AND WATER
On March 11, 2010, Roamingwood Sewer & Water Association; agent of South Wayne County Water & Sewer Authority had a Ground Breaking Ceremony for five major water and sewer infrastructure improvement projects.
For details on the projects and a map showing where the job sites are located within The Hideout, see this document:

Other Projects:
CCTV inspection of sewer mains and laterals
For quite some time, Roamingwood has used camera systems to view the conditions inside our sewer system to locate leaks, damage, and obstructions within the pipes. More recently, we have used a robotic camera that can actually drive through our sewer mains to obtain high-quality color video and still pictures. Those videos and images are then brought into our Asset Management system (see below) to store them for future reference.
Eyes Underground – Sewer Inspection
Asset Management
RS&W has put together a computer system to manage information on our sewer and water system assets. This information along with the reports and overviews that it provides allows us to make better informed decisions in the operation and maintenance of our infrastructure.
Asset Management – Bringing RS&W into the Future
Public Notification
Roamingwood Sewer and Water will be using the Swift911 service from SwiftReach Networks to contact our customers quickly in the event of a service-related emergency. This system relies upon current emergency contact information, so please see our
Home page for instructions on how to update our records.

Water System Survey
We are in the process of surveying our water system, which includes obtaining locations for all valves and hydrants using GPS (Global Positioning System). This information will be added to our Asset Management database so we can provide accurate maps and better plan any future work on the water system.
