System Maintenance Programs

Wellington has implemented a number of maintenance programs to capture and remove sediments, debris and vegetation before and after it enters Acme’s surface water management system. The program includes:

  • Street sweeping 38.3 miles of roadway
  • Litter pick-up and disposal
  • Catch basin and culvert cleaning
  • Aquatic vegetation harvesting
  • Canal cleaning
  • Sediment removal at 7 sediment sump locations
  • Automated pump station debris removal systems

n 2015, Wellington collected and properly disposed of 3,560 cubic yards of material, which is estimated to have eliminated approximately 2,000 pounds of phosphorus that would otherwise have entered the surface water management system and downstream receiving waters.
