HRSD, your regional wastewater treatment utility, is planning a project in your neighborhood to replace the existing HRSD sanitary sewer pipelines that are nearing the end of their useful life. This replacement project will also improve the 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

HRSD is undertaking a project to replace and upgrade the Jefferson Avenue sanitary sewer pipe. This effort will increase operational flexibility, reduce system pressures, and improve performance within HRSD’s sanitary sewer system. A microtunnel has been installed under I-64 without cutting open the road above it. The remainder of the sewer pipe will be installed in a trench. Pavement restoration of the roadways affected by installation of the sewer pipes will occur once the sewer installation is complete. The existing sewer pipe will not be needed once the new sewer pipe is installed and will be abandoned in place without disturbing the ground above.

Project Schedule
Staging: Completed April 2023
Construction:  Early 2024 – Late 2024
Restoration: Immediately following construction when seasonably appropriate
