Inflow -Storm water that enters into wastewater system at points of direct
connection to the systems. Various sources contribute to the inflow including open
wastewater pipes, unprotected manholes, and openings in wastewater lines.
Due to large inflow during rain events, the Town of Prosper is in need of a

are intended to provide non-domestic users of the wastewater collection system
standards, education and guidelines for reduction of inflow to protect the public
wastewater system of the Town of Prosper.
