The city of Gainesville recently received its new sewer jetter, a piece of equipment that uses highly pressurized water to clean sewer lines.
The city council approved the purchase of the Mongoose brand jetter from Armour Equipment on July 29, 2021, for $54,603; however, the jetter didn’t get delivered until April of this year due to covid-related delays on parts and assembly, according to City Water Specialist Jessi Price.
“The jetter allows us to clean the sewer main lines and remove any build up or debris, which allows sewage to flow freely down the lines to the treatment plant,” she said. “This will also help us to avoid any stop-ups and delays in sewer functions.”
