Wilroy Pressure Reducing Station and Offline Storage Facility

Body

Project Overview

HRSD, your regional wastewater treatment utility, is undertaking a project in your neighborhood to construct a new pressure reducing pumping station (PRS) and offline storage facility. This project will improve sewer system performance and ensure continued, reliable sewer service in the future. The answers to some Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) are provided on the back of this notice.

The project is located on HRSD property at 1941 Wilroy Road. This project includes the construction of a pump station, odor control, offline storage, and pipelines extensions. The new facility is designed to relieve pressures to the wastewater sewer system during wet weather events. What this means is during wet weather events that may cause the sanitary sewer system to be inundated with rainwater, the excess flow will be diverted from the sewer pipes to the storage facility. It will be held at the storage facility temporarily. Once the pressure on the sanitary sewer system has returned to normal, the sewage will be released from the storage facility and will flow back into the sewer pipes, where it will then continue on to the treatment plant for treatment. This will help reduce the occurrence of sanitary sewer overflows, which are improvements that are mandated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).The contractor will maintain a clean job site and minimize traffic disruption.
