Middlesex Sewer Force Main Installation FAQs


This project is a necessary to increase the reliability of the sewage collection by improving the system’s performance and ensure continued, reliable sewer service in the future.


Comprehensive traffic control plans will be implemented to minimize disruptions to the flow of traffic. There will be planned detours during some phases of construction. Signage will be placed prior to these detours.


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. 


Your sewer and water service should not be affected by this project.


Where the sewer force main is installed, asphalt, curb, gutters, driveway aprons, and grass will be removed and then restored upon completion of work in that area.


The typical construction noises such as equipment engines, back-up alarms, materials being delivered, diesel generators, air compressors, sawing, etc. should be anticipated.


It is anticipated that the contractor will negotiate with another contractor, VDOT, or 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 trucks will be allowed to park within the active work zone.


The estimated cost for the project is approximately $2.3 million and is financed by state grant funds.


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.
