Hence, this study focuses on investigating the current management mechanism of foul water sewers, in order to evaluate and to improve the mechanism performance. This study looks into the case of the sewer maintenance management in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, to find out its evaluation mechanism. On the basis of reviewing literature of sewer maintenance management and maintenance performance, this study proposes a framework to divide the evaluation into two categories: responsive measure and proactive measure, and to identify evaluation items under each category. Through the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), this study adapts a quantitative approach to examine the framework by analyzing the interview with relevant experts via questionnaires. It is found that proactive measure is more important than responsive measure. The case study shows that the sewer maintenance management has stressed on reactive measure so far, so the management can be reinforced by adding preventive measure.
