HRSD, your regional wastewater treatment utility, in coordination with the City of Newport News, is planning a project in your neighborhood to replace the existing HRSD sanitary sewer pipelines that are nearing the end of their useful life. This replacement project will also improve the system’s performance and ensure continued, reliable sewer service in the future. The answers to some Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) are provided here.

Project Overview

HRSD is undertaking a project to replace the sanitary sewer pipe along West Avenue in Newport News. The project includes approximately 2,400 linear feet of new sewer piping from Pump Station 201, located on 25th Street, to a connection at the intersection of West Avenue and 33rd Street. Once the new pipe has been installed, the old sewer pipe will be taken out of service. The contractor will maintain a clean job site and minimize traffic disruption.
