The next phase of the 2024 Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Project begins the week of November 4.
Work is scheduled to begin on Tuesday or Wednesday, November 5th or 6th with line inspections and cleaning. Crews plan to insert cameras into the lines to find any blockages and locate problem areas for repairs. During this process, you may notice drains and toilets gurgling as the crews use high-pressure water to break up any blockages, scour the pipe walls and flush debris through the lines.
You may experience a sewer odor in your home or gurgling in your drains due to inadequate venting. Please do not be alarmed. In the unlikely event that water may splash back, place a large old towel under the toilet seat or draped around the toilet, or wrap the bowl with plastic wrap, and cover any floor drains.
Following the inspection and cleaning, crews will fix manholes and complete repairs as needed in the project area. Next, they will replace clay tile pipe with cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) in the project area. CIPP is a jointless, seamless, pipe-within-a-pipe that will reduce inflow and infiltration of storm water into our sanitary sewer system. Crews will also make point repairs and rehab manholes in the project area.
If you have any questions about the project, please call Holly Robertson, CIP Project Manager, at 913-893-6231.
