Immediately following construction when seasonably appropriate.
This project is necessary to address manhole frames and covers that are damaged, broken, or underneath the pavement. Replacing or raising these castings/structures will improve system reliability, enhance public safety, and reduce the potential for stormwater infiltration into the sewer system.
A field survey was performed to evaluate the condition of manholes. Based on this assessment, manholes requiring adjustment or replacement were identified and included in the project.
Disruptions to traffic will be minimized. There may be occasional short duration detours or single lane closures. Flaggers will be present to help direct vehicles, as needed.
The contractor will ensure that access to residences and at least one entrance to businesses will be maintained throughout construction. Trash and mail services will 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 (7 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 water or sewer service are anticipated during this project.
Where manholes are dug up or raised, 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, air compressors, sawing, and associated activities 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 vehicles will be allowed to park within the active work zone.
The estimated cost for the project is approximately $1.1 million and is financed by the wastewater treatment fees paid by HRSD customers.
Regular project updates are posted on the HRSD website at www.hrsd.com/construction-status. You may also sign up at www.hrsd.com/subscriptions to receive an email notification whenever the website has an update about the project.
