HRSD, your regional wastewater treatment utility, in coordination with the City of Virginia Beach, is planning a project in your neighborhood to rehabilitate existing HRSD sanitary sewer pipelines that are nearing the end of their useful life. This rehabilitation project will ensure continued, reliable sewer service in the future. The answers to some Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) are provided here.

Project Overview
This project is in the vicinity of 2814 Arctic Avenue in Virginia Beach, Virginia. The project includes repair of existing sanitary sewer pipelines and manholes to like-new condition. Pipelines will undergo heavy cleaning and interior lining. Manhole frames and covers will be replaced, and the manhole interiors will be lined. Temporary sanitary sewer bypass pumping will be in place to ensure that your sewer service is not interrupted. All work will be within the city right-of-way or on HRSD property. The contractor will maintain a clean job site and minimize traffic disruption.

Project Schedule
Construction: Work is scheduled to begin in mid-April and is expected to last through the end of the month. Due to the nature of construction, work is weather and situation dependent, and dates are subject to change or be extended.
Restoration: Immediately following construction when seasonably appropriate. All restoration is on HRSD property and outside of the city right-of-way.

ROAD CLOSURE/DETOUR: This work will require a road closure on Arctic Avenue between 28th and 30th Streets. A detour will be in place for thru traffic beginning as early as April 15th and lasting through the end of the month. Local traffic will have access to their homes & businesses within the work zone area. Please see the detour route on the map below.

If you have any questions, concerns, or comments about the project, please feel free to contact Lisa Bolen, HRSD Public Information Specialist, at 757.460.7000 or LBolen@hrsd.com.
