This project will replace an existing pipeline constructed in the 1970s, that currently runs along Canal Drive; this pipeline has known corrosion issues and is in need of replacement. This project will provide updated infrastructure that will help ensure HRSD’s ability to protect public health and the environment for decades to come.

Yes. For safety reasons it is anticipated that where crews are working, one lane of traffic will be closed adjacent to this work. The contractor will use an approved and comprehensive traffic control plan, with flaggers, to assist the public traveling through the area and to help minimize impacts. A ‘rolling construction’ method will be utilized establishing a singular workzone (300 – 500 feet) at a time and completing that work before moving onto the next section. This allows construction to move from one end of the project to the other in smaller segments ensuring the smallest possible area is impacted.

The contractor will ensure that access to residences and at least one entrance to businesses will be
maintained throughout construction. Trash and mail services should not be affected. If necessary, the
contractor will move trash containers from within a work zone to an area accessible for pickup, and will be
responsible for returning them to each residence.

Work will typically take place Monday through Friday during daylight hours (8 a.m. - 5 p.m.). However,
there may be times when extended hours, work at night, or weekend work may be necessary.

No interruptions to your water or sewer services are anticipated during construction. The location of the new force main was designed to keep the existing sewer system active during construction.

Areas that are disturbed by construction such as: asphalt, gutters, driveway aprons, and grass will be
restored upon completion of the project. Once the new pipeline is in service, the existing pipeline will be
filled with a concrete-like material so the pipe can safely be left in place to minimize additional disruptions.

The typical construction noises such as equipment engines, back-up alarms, materials being delivered, diesel generators, air compressors, sawing, etc. should be anticipated.

An area for storage in the project vicinity has been acquired and this site will be used for most of the
equipment and supplies. The contractor will keep some supplies in the public right-of way and easements
along the project path.

The estimated cost for the project is $5.5 million and is financed by the wastewater treatment fees paid by HRSD customers and a Virginia Clean Water Revolving Loan Fund grant from the State of Virginia.
