Budget/Fiscal Impact
The FY 2016-2021 Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) includes the Southside Interceptor Sewer Lining Project (UT-SN-03-29). Funding for the project is included in the approved Sewage Disposal System capital budget.
Project Description
This project consists of lining approximately 4,940 feet of 32-inch sanitary sewer and 4,950 feet of 42-inch sanitary sewer pipe within Huron River Drive beginning at Chalmers Drive and extending easterly along Thornoaks Drive, along the railroad right-of-way and terminating at Old Dixboro Road at the entrance to the wastewater treatment plant. In addition, the project will line 29 sanitary sewer manholes to aid in limiting stormwater infiltration into the sanitary sewer system. Lining is a trenchless technology which enables the pipe to be repaired without disturbing the surface above. The lining of this sanitary sewer is critical to extending the service life of these pipes. The project is expected to begin in July 2016.
