ABSTRACT
Our paper evaluates the technical condition of sewerage systems in the Czech Republic that are
not properly operated and managed. These include municipalities that own the water infrastructure
and operate the sewer network themselves. The selected assessed localities are municipalities of up to
1,000 inhabitants in the Czech Republic, which themselves operate sewerage systems aged 40-50 years.
The aim of this paper is to compare and classify various defects in the sewerage systems joining risk
analysis method and a proposed methodology corresponding to the applicable EN 13508-2 standard used
to assess the condition of the sewerage systems and house connections. The evaluation and comparisons
of the technical condition of the sewerage systems with the operating companies is the subject of this
paper. Evaluation was done by multi-criteria analysis based on the risk analysis method: Failure Mode
and Effects Analysis. The results of the assessment of the technical conditions classified into technical
indicators of defects are unique in the Czech Republic and abroad.
