As part of the Trenchless Rehabilitation Program for sewer and stormwater infrastructure, the city’s contractor, Insituform, will be rehabilitating the sewer mains using a method known as cast-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining. This system will provide a new structurally sound sewer pipe that will significantly reduce root and water infiltration problems and improve flow. This CIPP lining work does not require excavation; however, trucks and equipment will be onsite to complete the work. No Parking signs will be posted at least 24 hours in advance. Please check daily for No Parking signs. Police officers will be on site to assist with vehicle and cycling traffic and pedestrians.
Work hours are 7am until completion of work which is up to 10 hours each day. There will be a temporary disruption of sewer service to your residence or business during this time. Affected properties will receive two hand delivered notices. The first notice will be distributed several days in advance, and the second will be a 24-hour notice. It is very important to limit water use on the day specified in the notice.
Below is the schedule for March 28 to April 1, weather permitting:
- Monday March 28: Second Ave from Charles Street to Bent Street
- Tuesday March 29: Second Street from Bent Street to Binney Street
- Wednesday March 30: Donnell Street from Concord Ave to Garden Street (CIPP lining work is being coordinated with ongoing Concord Ave sidewalk work)
