Capital Region Water will kick off a $1.3 million sewer replacement project on Monday that will include some temporary road closures and other inconveniences.
The project will replace and renew aging sewer infrastructure at 10 locations to protect against sinkholes and ensure reliable wastewater service, according to Andrew Bliss, CRW community outreach manager.
“This project is just one example of our commitment to investing in our community from raindrop to river,” said CRW CEO Shannon Williams. “We appreciate everyone’s patience while these improvements are made.”
Complete replacement of sewer pipe at the following locations will require street excavation:

Potential impacts of the construction include street closures, parking restrictions, construction noise and temporary sewer service interruptions, Bliss said. When pipe replacement is complete, the road will be temporarily patched until repaving next spring, he said.
In addition, cured-in-place pipe lining will be used to renew three sewer mains on Crescent Street, Maclay Street and Parkway Drive and will not require street excavation. Potential impacts from this work include temporary traffic disturbance and temporary sewer service interruption, said Bliss.
Construction hours will be 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. This project will not require access to customers’ homes, but Bliss said that CRW will conduct door-to-door outreach for any affected property owner. CRW also will have a representative on site during construction working hours, Bliss said.
