HRSD, your regional wastewater treatment utility, in coordination with the City of Norfolk, is planning a project in your neighborhood to replace the existing HRSD Luxembourg and Ashland Circle Pump Stations that are nearing the end of their useful life. This replacement project will also improve the sewer system’s performance and ensure continued, reliable sewer service in the future. The answers to some Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) are provided here.

Project Overview

The project is located in the Lafayette-Winona neighborhood of Norfolk, VA. The pump station currently located on Ashland Circle will be removed and will no longer be in service. The wastewater flow that would normally go to that pump station will be re-routed to the pump station on Luxembourg Street, which will also be replaced with a new, upgraded facility. Bypass pumps will be utilized during this work to ensure that sewer service is maintained.

This project will include the installation of sanitary sewer pipes and manholes from the Ashland Circle Pump Station to the Luxembourg Street Pump Station, as well as some public sewer service lateral pipes. These pipes will be repaired or replaced within the city right-of-way. The owner of any private sewer service pipe that is found in need of repair will be contacted. The sewer pipe installation is shown on the project map below; installation will occur on Luxembourg Street, Versailles Avenue, Norway Place, Holland Avenue, and Huntington Crescent. The contractor will maintain a clean job site and minimize traffic disruption.
