After mandates from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, the city of Hillsboro is working on correcting the overflow problems within the sewer system. The first task is to find out from where the extra water is coming. This is being determined by utilizing a cleaning pipe followed by a camera crew and tank to "see" below the surface. This is a costly endeavor and the city is considering purchasing their own camera system to actually save money in the long run. These recent problems are something to be expected with the age of the system. The EPA has mandated that the city repair at least 4 miles of sewer line per year until the entire city has been completed. This process is expected to take at least 10 years to complete.
