Maintaining Intake Structures

Cleaning the intake structure should be a monthly part of the maintenance program due to the level of debris that can collect in the intake.

Turn off the valve leaving the intake structure to avoid any sediment entering the system while the intake is being cleaned. The intake filter should be removed and cleaned with a plastic brush to remove any silt. The cleanout on the intake should be opened and drained. Remove any excess debris.
