This project is necessary to upgrade aging infrastructure that will help ensure HRSD’s ability to protect public health and the environment for decades to come.

Although the majority of the project work will be located within HRSD property, some work will be completed within the roadway. Some lane closures on northbound Chesapeake Boulevard near the Wayne Circle intersection are anticipated. Comprehensive traffic control plans will be implemented to minimize inconvenience.

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 from 7 a.m. - 7 p.m. There may be temporary exceptions in certain locations to reduce impacts to the community, adhere to City ordinances, or as required in order to complete the work.

Your water and sewer service should not be interrupted during the project duration. In the unlikely event that an interruption occurs, the contractor will notify you.

Where sewer pipeline is installed, asphalt, curb, gutters, driveway aprons, and grass will be removed and then restored upon completion of the project.

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

The contractor has negotiated with a private property owner for a storage area in the project vicinity and this site will be used for most of the equipment and supplies. The contractor will keep some supplies within the active work zone, in the public right-of-way.

Construction workers will not be allowed to park their personal vehicles on the public streets. However, work trucks will be allowed to park within the active work zone.

The estimated cost for the project is $12.6 million and is financed by the wastewater treatment fees paid by HRSD customers.
