This project is a necessary part of a larger, federally-mandated program to reduce sewage overflows during rainstorms. HRSD has identified corrosion on these line segments. Rehabilitation now will minimize corrosion formation in the future.
-
Every effort will be made to minimize disruptions to traffic, and in most cases, no more than a single lane of traffic will be closed during the day. No planned detours are anticipated, but flagging or police officers will be used to help direct traffic as needed. The majority of the work and all multiple-lane closures will occur during nighttime and weekends. Businesses and residents may also notice an increase in heavy construction equipment traffic in the area.
-
Access to residences and 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 Thursday during nighttime hours (9:00PM – 5:00AM) and weekends 9:00PM Friday through 5:00AM Monday. The lining process will occur on the weekends. Once the contractor begins the lining process, the work must continue until the lining is in place and cured. This work may extend through the nighttime hours up to 72 continuous hours.
-
Your sewer service may be temporarily interrupted if work is to be performed on the sewer lateral pipe that serves your property. If your service is to be interrupted, the contractor will notify you before your lateral is to be rehabilitated so you can plan appropriately. Typically, service interruptions will occur during night-work, and sewer service typically will be restored within several hours. Your water service will not be affected by this project, though you may have to refrain from using water during a sewer service interruption.
-
Where sewer and lateral pipes are dug up, asphalt, curb, gutters, driveway aprons, and grass will be removed and then restored upon completion of that segment of the project.
-
Typical construction noises such as vehicles, back-up alarms, materials being delivered, diesel generators, air compressors, etc. should be anticipated. Motors on stationary equipment that will be in operation for extended periods of time, or are near homes, will be equipped with sound enclosures that help reduce the amount of noise. The bypass pumps and other stationary equipment have a decibel rating at 50 feet that is equivalent to a telephone dial tone or a running shower.
-
Yes. The equipment and materials may be stored in the public right-of-way or on private property where the contractor has already negotiated with the private property owners.
-
Construction workers will park wherever public parking is allowed and will not park on private property unless they have negotiated with the private property owners.
-
The estimated cost for the project is approximately $2.8 Million and is financed by the wastewater treatment fees paid by HRSD customers.
