Luxembourg Pump Station: In February, the installation of the roofing system, windows, doors, insulation, and siding will continue. Once the roof is complete, the HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical work inside of the station can begin. This work will take place during the daytime and within the right-of-way and the HRSD Luxembourg Pump Station property. Access to homes/businesses will be available.

Sewer Pipe Installation: Sewer pipe installation continues on Versailles Avenue between Luxembourg Street and Norway Place and also on Norway Place near the intersection of Lasalle Avenue. Work near the Lasalle Avenue intersection is expected to be complete by the end of February. Work will then continue down Norway Place through June 2026.

Traffic patterns will shift and will include partial lane closures and detours to through traffic during the sewer pipe installation. Residents will have access to their homes/businesses. There may be times when work occurs in front of driveways. In those instances, parking will need to occur down the street until work in front of the driveway is complete. Street parking may be reduced where work equipment is present.

The work will be confined to the HRSD pump station properties and the public right-of-way. Work in the right-of-way will include pipeline replacement, manhole installation, traffic control, and roadway replacement/resurfacing. Construction traffic will be entering and exiting the pump station sites from Luxembourg Avenue and Ashland Circle. Comprehensive traffic control plans will be implemented to minimize inconvenience during the gravity sewer main/manhole installation. Impacted streets are as shown in the project map and as listed below: Ashland Circle, Huntington Crescent, Holland Avenue, Norway Place, Versailles Ave, and Luxembourg Street.

Staging:: May 2024

Construction:: Spring 2024 – Late 2026

Restoration:: Immediately following construction when seasonably appropriate

: This project is necessary to increase the reliability of the sewage collection system by replacing aging infrastructure and to improve the operation of the existing sewer system that will help ensure HRSD’s ability to protect public health and the environment for decades to come.
: Disruptions to traffic will be minimized as much as possible, and in most cases, a single lane of traffic will be maintained. Some planned detours are anticipated with the majority of impacts utilizing flagging operations to help direct traffic as needed. The new sewer installation will require deep excavations within the right-of-way, and for public safety, lane closures and detours must be utilized. Comprehensive traffic control plans will be implemented to minimize inconvenience.
: The contractor will ensure that access to residences and at least one entrance to businesses will be maintained throughout construction. Trash and mail services should 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 (8 a.m. - 5 p.m.). However, there may be times when extended hours, work at night, or weekend work may be necessary.
: Your sewer service may be temporarily interrupted if work is to be performed on the sewer lateral pipe that serves your property. The contractor will notify you before your lateral is to be rehabilitated so you can plan appropriately. Sewer service typically will be restored within several hours. Your water service should not be affected by this project.
: 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.
: It is anticipated that the contractor will negotiate 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 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 $26.9 million and is financed by the wastewater treatment fees paid by HRSD customers.
: 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.
