Capital Region Water Set to Start 5 Projects in Harrisburg

Capital Region Water at work installing new pipes on Green Street in Harrisburg last winter.

Capital Region Water will begin a new round of sewer replacement and improvements next week, affecting several neighborhoods in Harrisburg.

Andrew Bliss, community outreach manager, said CRW will stagger the $700,000 project through the end of January. In all, CRW will repair more than 800 feet of aging and broken sewer mains and manholes at five locations.

The individual projects are:

Mid-December to early January
S. 13th Street, between Market Street and Howard Street
New manhole, 18 feet of new sewer pipe

End of December to early January
Cameron and Market streets
Spray on concrete liner, 18-inch sewer pipe

Early January to end of January
Magnolia Street between Cameron and 12th streets
New manhole on Cameron Street, pipe lining

Mid-January to end of January
Derry Street between 13th and 14th Streets
New manhole, 13 feet of pipe, pipe lining

Mid-January to end of January
Fulton and Hamilton streets
New manhole connection

Construction hours will be Monday to Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Potential impacts of the construction include street closures, parking restrictions, construction noise and temporary sewer service interruptions. When the pipe replacement is complete, the road will be temporarily patched until final street restoration is completed in the spring of 2018, Bliss said.

“Every business, office and resident in Harrisburg relies on our sewer system every day,” said CRW board Chairman Marc Kurowski. “These critical repairs will help ensure reliable wastewater service for the next several decades.”
