The City has contracted the rehabilitation of a portion of its public combined sewer lines using the Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) process to begin on Aug. 16 and continue through Nov. 13, weather permitting.
During the sewer rehabilitation, a liner is inserted into the public sewer that will seal the building sewer service connection, preventing it from flowing into the public sewer.
When the contractor is rehabilitating the sewer line in front of your building, please limit water usage by limiting the use of bathroom facilities and refraining from doing laundry or washing dishes. Any sump pumps that are connected to the combined sewer system should be disconnected during this period. When installation of the liner is completed, the contractor will re-establish flow from the building sewer service to the public sewer.
The contractor will work with area residents and businesses to minimize impacts and noise. A 10-day notice will be provided to area residents prior to lining work. An additional notice will be placed on the front door of affected buildings advising occupants 24 hours in advance of work, which should take approximately 10 hours to complete at most locations. If you do not receive a notice, the process will not affect your building. Work at some locations may extend beyond normal work hours or be completed overnight. Some locations may also require alley closures and revised traffic patterns. “No Parking” signs will be posted in the area where rehabilitation work will restrict parking.

This is great! I am watching the crew reline the sewer pipe at sites 28 and 29 and just read up on the process. The sewer line may be good for another 50 years! Now I hope the rain won’t delay the process because it is hard not to use water that ends up in the sewer.
