Tiffin Comprehensive Plan – Updated 2018

Infrastructure Sanitary Sewer System The city has finished working on I&I reduction within the Original Town District. New sanitary service lines have been replaced from the main to individual houses. This should provide adequate service for the next 20 years in that district. It is anticipated that UV disinfection to sewer plant will be added in 2017-2018 with planned expansion to the plant in 2018-2019. That expansion will begin in the spring of 2018. With expected growth, a second plant expansion will likely be necessary in ten years. The city should perform a study of the current system to determine future capacity and flow needs due to the rapid projected growth. Land is now being developed outside of the sewershed where the current plant is located. In order to use the existing plant, sewage has to be pumped. The capacity of the existing system will determine where a given development would be allowed to pump. The results of this study will assist in the review and approval of future developments. Future Sewer System Recommendations  Expand sewer plant a second time within 10 years  Study current plant capacity and estimated main flows within two years.  Establish a Capital Improvements Plan for a detailed schedule of sewer system repairs and maintenance.
