Also called sewer manhole, maintenance hole
Service life
Years in service. The band runs from the shortest to the longest life the sources state, so it shows how much they disagree, not how long 80% of units last. The line is the median of the stated lives.

Municipal lives for sanitary sewer (G3020)
22 municipalities in Ontario state a life for sanitary sewer as a whole, in 22 distinct tables: 15–150 years, median 70. 56 rows come from capital asset policies (accounting lives, used for amortization) and 20 from asset management plans (planning lives, used to forecast replacement). They describe the system rather than this component, and none is a measured life.
Years. Each dot is one stated life and each bar a stated range; equal values stack. Hollow marks are planning lives from asset management plans; filled marks are accounting lives from policies. The dashed line is the median. Policies that copy the same table count once.

Frequencies are ISO 8601 durations in the data (P3M = every 3 months).
Open questions
- These are Ontario accounting lives from municipal capital asset policies, not planning or observed replacement data.
- Some maintenance intervals come from TM 5-692-1, an Army manual for mission-critical (C4ISR) facilities; they may be tighter than typical commercial practice.
