About the Program
The City of Rolling Meadows Public Works Department will continue with its ongoing Sewer System Maintenance Program which consists of televising main sewer lines to determine methods most cost effective for making a repair. These may include:
- Excavation repair
- Manhole spray lining
- Manhole to manhole lining
- Spot lining
In the event that a problem is discovered with a resident’s sanitary service line (lateral) at the point of connection, the City will advise the resident with a form stating what the problem is and what course of action to take to remedy the problem.
Typical Spot Lining Procedure
Spot
lining of main sanitary pipes that are in need of repairs throughout the
City. Is a method of choice because it eliminates the need to excavate
driveways or parkways to make the repairs, and eliminates the
inconveniences typically caused by excavating.

contractor. In cases where manhole to manhole segments have more than 3
defects it is more cost effective to line the entire segment.
