Where is this project?
Why are we doing this project?
- To improve reliability and provide for future capacity, the pump stations will be demolished and rebuilt on adjacent lots. The pipelines between these two pump stations will be rehabilitated and, in certain cases, replaced.
- The aging sanitary sewer pipelines connecting these pump stations to the wastewater treatment plant are also in need of upgrades and/or replacement.
Is there a regulatory component to this project?
-
This project is part of HRSD’s EPA Rehabilitation Action Plan which requires that construction be completed before May 5, 2025.

How long will this project take?
Project Timeline: Phase 1
Phase 1: Sanitation Sewer Pipelines
Estimated Construction Start Date: Summer 2022
Estimated Completion: Late 2024
Sanitation Sewer Pipelines
After Phase I is completed on Park Avenue in front of Rena B. Wright Elementary School this summer, construction will continue linearly down Park Avenue to Rodgers Street, up Byrd Avenue, and down Bainbridge Boulevard.
The sanitary sewer gravity and force main pipelines between the two pump stations will be replaced:
- 900 linear feet of 12”
- sanitary sewer force main pipe
- 2,800 linear feet of 18”
- gravity pipe
- 5,000 linear feet of 30”
- gravity pipe
- Construction will begin this summer on Park Avenue in front of Rena B. Wright Elementary School.
- More information regarding the timing of the sewer pipeline work will be announced in Fall 2022.
Sanitary Sewer Pipelines: Park Avenue
Access to Porter St. and Perry St. will be always maintained, but street parking will not be allowed on Park Avenue during construction.
Sanitary Sewer Pipeline Construction will occur on Park Avenue directly in front of Rena B. Wright Elementary School.
- Construction may begin as early as June 17 immediately following the end of the school year.
- Construction will end by Labor Day.
- In order to complete all work on time before school begins, construction hours may occur Monday – Saturday from
- 7 AM – 7 PM

Park Avenue Sanitation Sewer Pipeline Construction: How will I be impacted?
Pipeline construction on Park Avenue may begin as early as June 17th and be completed by Labor Day as to not impact the school.
Park Avenue will be restricted to one-lane during pipeline construction. Access to Porter Street from Park Avenue will be open, but vehicles will not be allowed to park on Park Avenue.
During construction you may experience:
- Staging of construction materials on or near the construction site
- Typical construction noises such as engines, backup alarms, material deliveries, diesel generators, and air compressors
Temporary road closures are not expected, but if they do need to occur, notice will be given to residents at least
48 hours in advance of a planned closure.
Sanitary Sewer Pipeline and Ferebee Pump Station Construction Impacts
What will be maintained?
- Access to residences
- Access to Rena B. Wright Elementary School
- Mail and trash services
- Emergency vehicle access
What are the standard construction hours?
- 07:00 AM to 07:00 PM
How will I be updated during construction?
- Individual notices and doorhangers will be used during construction to advise residents of construction updates and impacts. Notices and updates will also be posted to the project website.
Sanitary Sewer Pipeline and Pump Station Construction Impacts
More information on the phasing and impact of the remaining sanitary sewer pipeline work and the Park and Ferebee Pump Station construction will be released in Fall 2022.
Any school bus stops that need to be relocated during the sanitary sewer pipeline work will be announced prior to the 2022-2023 school year.
