b. Central Crossing Terrace
c. Shelton Place
Comprehensive traffic control plans will be implemented to minimize inconvenience.
October 2025
Early 2026 - Summer 2026
Immediately following construction when seasonably appropriate.
This project is necessary to address manhole frames and covers that are damaged, broken, or underneath the pavement. Replacing or raising these castings/structures will improve system reliability, enhance public safety, and reduce the potential for stormwater infiltration into the sewer system.
A field survey was performed to evaluate the condition of manholes. Based on this assessment, manholes requiring adjustment or replacement were identified and included in the project.
Disruptions to traffic will be minimized. There may be occasional detours or single lane closures. Flaggers will be present to help direct vehicles, as needed.
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.
Work will typically take place Monday through Friday during daylight hours (7 a.m. - 5 p.m.). However, there may be times when extended hours, work at night, or weekend work may be necessary.
No interruptions to water or sewer service are anticipated during this project.
Where manholes are dug up or raised, asphalt, curb, gutters, driveway aprons, and grass will be removed and then restored upon completion of the project.
The typical construction noises such as equipment engines, back-up alarms, materials being delivered, diesel generators, air compressors, sawing, and associated activities should be anticipated.
The contractor has negotiated with a private property owner for a storage area in the project vicinity and this site will be used for most of the equipment and supplies. The contractor will keep some supplies 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 vehicles will be allowed to park within the active work zone.
The estimated cost for the project is approximately $1.1 million and is financed by the wastewater treatment fees paid by HRSD customers.

Webpage Reviewed: April 2, 2026
HRSD, your regional wastewater treatment utility, is undertaking a project to rehabilitate the King William Central Crossing Pump Station located at 123 Central Crossing Terrace, that is nearing the end of its useful life. Rehabilitating the existing pump station with new modernized infrastructure will improve the systems performance and optimize HRSD’s ability to protect public health and the environment for decades to come.
Project Cost: Approximately $2.3 Million
November 5, 2025
Construction has not started.
The work will be confined to HRSD property and the public right-of-way; construction traffic will be entering and exiting the site on Central Parkway and Central Crossing Terrace.
Spring 2026
Spring 2026 - Late 2026
Immediately following construction when seasonably appropriate.
This project will provide infrastructure improvements that will help ensure HRSD’s ability to protect public health and the environment for decades to come.
We look at several sites to determine what meets HRSD’s needs of availability, price, property agreement terms, ease of access to the property for construction and future maintenance. Rehabilitation of the existing station was determined to be the best option.
Disruptions to traffic will be minimized and no planned detours are necessary, but flagging will be used to help direct traffic as needed.
The contractors will ensure that access to residents 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.
Work will typically take place Monday through Friday during daylight hours (7 a.m. - 5 p.m.). However, there may be times when extended hours, work at night, or weekend work may be necessary.
Your water and sewer services should not be affected by this project.
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 project.
Typical construction noises such as equipment engines, back-up alarms, materials being delivered, diesel generators, air compressors, sawing, and associated activities should be anticipated.
General construction materials will be stored onsite including piping, equipment, stone, and other materials so it is readily available by the Contractor for installation.
Construction workers will park onsite and in the public right-of-way near the project area. They will not be permitted to park in areas impacting access to properties or resulting in impacts to routine services like mail delivery.
The estimated cost for the project is approximately $2.1 million and is financed by the wastewater treatment fees paid by HRSD customers.
