Siletz Indian Nation Chooses EZZ-KLEAN Device to Clean Storm System
The Siletz Indian Nation chose the EZZ-KLEAN drainage system cleaning device manufactured by the EZZ-KLEAN company of Medford, Oregon to clean the reservation’s storm water drains. Siletz Oregon, United States – August 22, 2013
The Siletz Indian Nation investigated ongoing drainage problems and decided to install a drainage system cleaning device to clean their storm water drainage system. The EZZ-KLEAN device was installed to clean the catch basin to allow easier drainage of storm water. This device eliminates most of the problems associated with regulatory compliance in cleaning sludge, rocks, sticks and even bones. All have been known to wreak havoc on pump impellers causing extensive damage and requiring investment in more man hours. The device was recommended by The Dyer Partnership of Coos Bay, Oregon, and was fitted into the concrete vault that was manufactured by Oldcastle in Wilsonville, Oregon. According to Eric Douglas, the Project Manager at Clackamas Construction who oversaw the storm water drainage project, the EZZ-KLEAN device was easy to install and appropriate for the purpose of periodic removal of debris.
Taylor Pump Stations has invented an easier way to clean and maintain pump stations, wet well, vaults, digester sump or just about any container for liquid waste as can be seen with the Siletz Nation’s using EZZ-KLEAN for their storm water drains. The EZZ-Klean Device is a wide mouth suction head made from HDPE plastics and was created for the ease in cleaning sanitary and storm water vaults. This product was issued a U.S. patent and was designed to save time and money by increasing safety and longevity of wet well equipment. The design of the EZZ Klean Device is perfect for storm water drainage even though that may not have been what was intended when it was designed. The wide mouth and long tube offer maneuverability while maintain a safe distance from potentially hazardous waste water.
