Larchmont Area Sanitary Sewer Improvements (LASSI) Program

--Jamestown Crescent Pump Station Construction Work to Begin--

HRSD, your regional wastewater treatment utility, is starting a project in your neighborhood to rehabilitate the HRSD Jamestown Crescent Pump Station that is nearing the end of its useful life. This rehabilitation project will improve the sewer system’s performance and ensure continued, reliable sewer service in the future. This work should take place primarily between the hours of 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday – Friday.

Construction Update

  • Beginning as early as Monday, November 10th, mobilization for the rehabilitation of the pump station site at 900 Jamestown Cresent will occur in the vicinity of your home/business on Jamestown Crescent. Work will include temporary fencing installation, installation of erosion & sediment controls, implementation of traffic control measures, and the installation of foundation piles, which will be installed via drilling into the ground.
    • This portion of work is expected to last up to 1 week
  • Additional work to occur at this site throughout the project includes the implementation of temporary bypass pump, demolition of existing valve vault and yard piping, installation of control building, and installation of new sewer pipes.
    • Work at the Jamestown Crescent Pump Station site is anticipated to be completed by late 2026. Due to the nature of construction, work is weather- and situation-dependent and dates are subject to change or be extended.

The following conditions can be expected during construction:

  • Your water and sewer service will not be disrupted.
  • Through traffic will be detoured around active construction zones, but residents will still be able to access their homes. On-street parking will be closed in active pipeline construction zones, which is not expected to occur until later in the project.
  • Vibration, Noise, and Dust Control:
    • Vibration monitors will be located onsite and near construction areas to minimize disruption. Alerts are provided to the contractor if the vibrations reach a particular level, and work will be stopped if these vibrations exceed federally established levels that may cause damage to residential structures.
    • Noise can be expected from excavation, backup alarms, diesel generators, motors, sheet pile driving, and other work.
    • Dust control measures, such as temporary paving, frequent road cleaning, and/or application of water, will be enacted to reduce dust from becoming airborne.
  • Construction work sites will be fenced in to protect from entry, and warning signs will be placed around pipeline work.
  • Roadways and rights-of-way will be restored to their pre-construction structure and materials.
  • Construction update notices will be distributed to those in the affected areas throughout the project to provide updates of upcoming work. These notices will also be posted on the project webpage and NextDoor.

While our project team works diligently to minimize impacts, you may notice increased noise and traffic, along with the people and heavy equipment (with back-up safety alarms) associated with construction. Please take care when traveling around the construction area and for your safety, do not enter the site. Due to the nature of construction, work is weather and situation dependent, and dates are subject to change.
