Stormwater repair and maintenance has been an ongoing issue in Suwanee. In the city’s efforts to maintain the stormwater systems, the Suwanee City Council recently approved the purchase of a high-pressure stormwater cleaner.

This high-pressure trailer-mounted equipment can self-propel into a pipe with high pressure and water volume for quick unclogging of storm pipes and inlets. The $88,789 piece of equipment, to be purchased from Jet-Vac Equipment, comes with a ¾-inch hose and 800-foot rotating safety hose reel. The rotating hose reel will allow the city to work efficiently while positioning themselves out of traffic and other hazards.
