The Urbanna Pump Station is part of the Middlesex: Urbanna to Mathews Sewer Transmission Pipe project where the wastewater treatment plants at Urbanna and the Central Middlesex Jail are to be decommissioned. As part of this project, the Urbanna Pump Station is needed to collect the wastewater from the Town of Urbanna and pump to the upgraded transmission system, which eventually discharges to the York River Treatment Plant. This system is necessary to continue providing wastewater service to the Town of Urbanna.
-
The pump station will not create odor issues. HRSD will install an odor collection and abatement system to treat the air at the station. Similar technologies have been proven effective with other HRSD pump stations, wastewater treatment plants, and other odor related facilities.
-
HRSD, the design team, and the selected contractor will be coordinating closely with the Town of Urbanna and Middlesex County to minimize impacts on traffic and pedestrians in areas near construction. County and Town noise ordinances will be followed by identifying and dampening excessive noise-generating activities as well as vibration from equipment during construction activities.
-
Work will typically take place Monday through Friday during daylight hours (8 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 service should not be affected by this project.
-
Equipment and materials for this project will be stored on the project site within HRSD property boundaries and should not require any additional offsite storage.
-
Construction workers will park on the project site within HRSD property boundaries. Construction personnel will not be allowed to park their personal vehicles on the public streets.
-
The estimated cost for the new Urbanna Pump Station is approximately $2.0 million and is financed by the wastewater treatment fees paid by HRSD customers.
