This study investigated the flux stability of select chemical and biological sewage markers, including caffeine, total nitrogen (TN), total suspended solids (TSS), E. coli, and enterococci, and their suitability in assessing the severity of rainfall-derived infiltration and inflow (RDII) in a residential sewershed. To quantify and compare marker flux stability, concentrations of the candidate markers in two dry-weather periods were determined and the one-day lag autocorrelation coefficients (r) of their mass fluxes were calculated. TN (r = 0.82-0.88) exhibited higher and more consistent flux stability than TSS (r = 0.49-0.82), caffeine (r = 0.56-0.58), E. coli (r = 0.36-0.87), and enterococci (by culture; r = 0.40-0.52), all of which except enterococci by qPCR (r = -0.10-0.21) showed significant autocorrelation. Sewage flows and marker concentrations were also monitored in two wet-weather periods, and the severity of RDII (R(RDII)) were calculated using either flow measurements or marker concentrations independently. Corresponding to its outstanding flux stability, R(RDII) values estimated by TN predicted all severe RDII instances and gave the highest and most consistent correlation (r = 0.74-0.78) among the different sewage markers. Overall, the study illustrated the feasibility of using the flux stability of sewage markers in assessing the severity of RDII and thereby deterioration levels in sewer systems.
