Park Avenue Pump Station Replacement (VP018000) -
In Summer 2022, HRSD will begin a multi-year project to replace critical aging infrastructure in the South Norfolk community. Using a phased approach, this project will replace two aging sanitary sewer pump stations and their associated sanitary sewer pipes along Park Avenue, Rodgers Street, Byrd Avenue, and Bainbridge Boulevard. For the pump station and sewer pipe locations, please refer to the Project Map.

January 9, 2023
Park Avenue between Bainbridge Boulevard and Rena B. Wright Elementary School is now open to vehicular traffic. Contractors completed all sanitary sewer work in this area, and the road is restored with temporary asphalt. Final road restoration will occur after construction of the Park Avenue Pump Station is complete in Summer 2024.
Construction of a new pump station located at the corner of Park Avenue and Porter Street (directly across from Rena B. Wright Elementary School) is underway. Excavation of the site will continue through the end of January 2023, and construction of the new pump station will begin in early 2023. All work will occur directly on the pump station property itself, Monday – Friday between the hours of 7 AM – 7 PM. For more information about what is expected with this work, please review construction notice update #7 in the Project Advisories section of the webpage.
In early 2023, sanitary sewer work will begin on Park Avenue between Bainbridge Boulevard and Rodgers Street. An estimated schedule of work and expected impacts to residents will be provided in January 2023.
-
Once construction begins, all work will be confined to HRSD property and road right-of-ways.
Impacted roads will include:
- Park Avenue
- Rodgers Street
- Byrd Avenue
- Bainbridge Boulevard
Please note: construction impacts will vary from location to location. More information regarding lane or parking closures, along with trash collection, school bus routes, and anticipated timelines for each road’s construction will be available closer to sewer pipeline construction in Summer 2022.

The project is necessary in order to provide reliable conveyance of sewage in the South Norfolk area. Replacing the existing pump stations with new modernized infrastructure will help to ensure wastewater capacity is adequate and will optimize HRSD’s ability to protect public health and the environment for decades to come.
-
No. Although this program includes designing new pump stations and sewer lines that can withstand flooding from major storm events, it is not intended to collect or eliminate storm water. The new pump stations and sanitary sewer lines will have increased capacity which will minimize sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs), but the system is not designed to be a stormwater collection and treatment system.
-
Replacement of the sewer pipelines along Park Avenue will begin in Summer 2022. Construction on the Park Avenue pump station should begin in Fall 2022. In Fall or Winter 2022, construction should begin on the Ferebee pump station located on Bainbridge Avenue. Please refer to the Project Timeline for more information.
-
During the design phase of this project (ongoing through Fall 2022), surveyors or contractors may be seen working in the area. All survey work during this time will be completed in public right-of-ways. If access to a private property is needed, permission will be secured in advance with the property owner.
Construction for the sewer pipelines on Park Avenue in front of Rena B. Wright Elementary School will begin in Summer 2022, but there will be no major roadway impacts or potential disruptions to service until that phase of construction begins.
-
Phase 1 of the project, the replacement and rehabilitation of sanitary sewer pipelines, will begin in Summer 2022. Construction will occur on Park Avenue between Rena B. Wright Elementary School and Bainbridge Boulevard. The phasing of the continuation of this sanitary sewer pipeline construction past Bainbridge Avenue will be released in Summer or Fall 2022 and will continue to be adjusted, as needed, throughout the project’s duration.
-
Disruptions to traffic will be minimized, and, in most cases, a single lane of traffic will be maintained.
-
The contractor will ensure that access to residences and at least one entrance to businesses will be maintained throughout construction. Trash and mail services will 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.
-
For the sanitary sewer pipeline work occurring in front of Rena B. Wright Elementary School on Park Avenue during Summer 2022, construction may occur Monday through Saturday between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. However, for the other phases of the project, work will typically take place Monday through Friday during daylight hours (8 a.m. - 4 p.m.). There may be times when extended hours, work at night, or weekend work is necessary, but changes in work hours will be announced ahead of time to impacted individuals.
-
Your sewer service will 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 program.
-
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 program.
-
The typical construction noises such as equipment engines, back-up alarms, materials being delivered, diesel generators, air compressors, sawing, etc. should be anticipated during daylight hours (8 a.m. - 4 p.m.).
-
An off-site storage area in the program vicinity will be used for the storage of most of the equipment and supplies. Some supplies may be contained 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 program is $35.8 million and is financed by the wastewater and wastewater treatment fees paid by HRSD customers.
-
After construction begins, the project website will be updated on a monthly basis regarding any schedule changes or project updates and can be accessed 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 program.
