I would like to know the practice of municipal council throughout the world on their practice for sedimentation cleaning of sewer. The paper by Lange and Wichern (2013) published in Water Science & Technology (Volume 68; Issue:4, 756-762) titled "Sedimentation dynamics in combined sewer systems" stated that in North Rhine-Westphalia, MURL (1995) suggested to clean the sewer when the sediment deposit reaches 15% of the pipe diameter. Is there any technical justification for this? If so, what are the reference that I can referred to?
