As a suburb of Boston, Mass., the Town of Dedham was all too familiar with the pitfalls, disruption and enormous costs of infrastructure projects involving a “big dig.”Not wishing to experience that firsthand, Dedham turned to trenchless technologies, especially cured-in-place pipe lining (CIPP), when looking for solutions to address its inflow and infiltration issues. A program of planned inspection, pipe cleaning, and follow-up rehabilitation with CIPP lining has significantly reduced I&I and as a result will bring savings in operational and wastewater treatment costs in the years ahead.Dedham is one of 43 member communities of the Massachusetts Water Resources Association
