Abstract
This study was o r i g i n a l l y designed to determine where and how
i n f i l t r a t i o n was entering the Charlottetown Area Sanitary Sewer
System using permanent and portable flow monitoring units.
Throughout the course of the study i t was determined that direct
inflow through low manhole covers was a major contributor while
i n f i l t r a t i o n and delayed inflow were not as s i g n i f i c a n t . From t h is
study, problem areas were i d e n t i f i e d and recommendations made for
future studies.
