This project is a necessary part of a larger, federally-mandated program to decommission an aging pump station. This project will provide updated infrastructure that will help ensure HRSD's ability to protect public health and the environment for decades to come.
-
Disruptions to traffic will be minimized. You may notice increased traffic while construction trucks enter and exit the site. No planned detours are anticipated, but flagging will be used to help direct traffic 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 accessible area for pickup and will be responsible for returning them to each residence.
-
Work will typically take place Monday through Friday during daylight hours (8 a.m. - 5 p.m.). However, there may be times when extended hours, work at night, or weekend work may be necessary.
-
There are no expected sewer interruptions during the construction of the vacuum pump station.
-
Where sewer and lateral pipes are dug up, 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, 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 may 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 $3.3 million and is financed by the wastewater treatment fees paid by HRSD customers.
