HRSD, your regional wastewater treatment utility, 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 pipeline along Robin Hood Road between Chesapeake Boulevard and Birch Street. This effort will improve performance and reliability within HRSD’s sanitary sewer system. A guided auger bore will be used to install the new sewer pipe under a large storm drain near Glen Avenue and Robin Hood Road. The auger bore allows for installation without cutting open the road above it. The remainder of the new sewer pipe will be installed in a trench, meaning pavement cutting and excavation will be necessary to install the new pipe. Pavement restoration of the roadways affected by installation of the sewer pipe will occur once the sewer installation is complete. The existing sewer pipe will not be needed once the new sewer pipe is installed; it will be abandoned in place without disturbing the ground above.

Project Schedule
Staging: September 2023
Construction: Fall 2023 - Spring 2025
Restoration: Immediately following construction when seasonably appropriate
