Manhole Monitoring Sensors “Maintaining our 7,400 miles

of sewer lines requires the smartallocation of resources and thismonitoring technology will alertus to the areas that are most in needof attention,” said CommissionerStrickland. “When elevated flowlevels are detected our staff will beable to inspect, and if necessaryperform maintenance, on the sewerline and stop a problem before itgets worse.”

When the monitoring sensorsdetect an elevated flow level in thesewer pipe below the roadway, analert is sent to DEP borough com-mand centers. Borough managersthen dispatch crews to inspect thesewer pipe, and perform any nec-essary maintenance to prevent po-tential sewer backups. Preventa-tive maintenance on sewer linescan enhance system capacity andimprove the flow of wastewater,helping to prevent the system frombeing overwhelmed during heavyrain. One major inhibitor to sewerflow is grease from residential andcommercial properties.

The monitoring sensor pilotfollows a recent $24 million infra-

structure upgrade in Forest Hills,Queens, which included the instal-lation of approximately one mileof new sewer lines and half a mileof new water mains. In June, DEPcompleted a two year project dur-ing which it cleaned 26 miles of itslargest sewer pipes, removingnearly 29 million pounds of debrisand sediment and providingroughly 1.9 million gallons of ex-tra sewer capacity during wetweather. DEP’s Executive Budgetincludes more than $3.4 billion inwater and sewer infrastructure in-vestments for Fiscal Years 2012 to2021—including nearly $2 billionfor sewers—of which $238 mil-lion will fund high-level storm sew-ers to mitigate combined seweroverflows and sewer backups.Since 2002, DEP has built a robustGIS tool containing digital, search-able maps of all sewer lines, man-holes, and other infrastructure tohelp identify trends and improvepreventative maintenance. In 2011,these programs were combined intoa single management program thatidentifies best practices for proac-tive intervention by field crews.

The Rumbling Before The Rambling

by Rob MacKay

A spot in Sunnyside was all broken up on Monday morning. Work was underway on a $1.4 millionrenovation of Torsney Playground that will bring a dog run, plantings and an asphalt upgrade to the SkillmanAvenue public space. Scheduled for a summer 2013 completion, the revamp will include a space for largepooches and another one for smaller canines, each with benches and dog drinking fountains.

Stop & Shop ScannersDear Editor:

Our local Stop & Shop supermarket on 48th street recently removed 50% of their price check scanners.They only had two, and decided to remove the one that used to be in isle #7. This leaves only one scanner leftfor the customers to verify prices. As was pointed out in a previous article in the Woodside Herald, when acustomer discovers an overcharge and reports it to their Customer Service desk, the Shop & Shop employeegoes to the isle and removes the price of that item so future customers are not aware of the overcharge. Nowthey removed a price check scanner to make it harder to check prices. Our local Stop & Shop is not being agood neighbor.

This past weekend I visited the Stop & Shop supermarket in Shirley, LI. While walking through the storeI noticed three price check scanners — and there may even be others I missed. Why did our local Stop & Shopremove half of the scanners, and what are they trying to hide?

Thank you,Paul Slapikas, Woodside
