HRSD, your regional wastewater treatment utility, is planning a project in your neighborhood to replace the existing HRSD sanitary sewer pipelines that are nearing the end of their useful life. This replacement project will also improve the system’s performance and ensure continued, reliable sewer service in the future. The answers to some Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) can be found here.

Project Overview

HRSD is undertaking a project to replace their sanitary sewer pipeline in the Meadowbrook neighborhood along Shirland Avenue / North Shirland Avenue between North Shore Road and Meads Road. This effort will improve performance and reliability within HRSD’s sanitary sewer system. The new sewer pipe will be installed in a trench, meaning pavement cutting and excavation will be necessary to install the new pipe. Pavement restoration of the roadways affected by installation of the sewer pipe will occur in a phased manner once the sewer installation is complete. The existing sewer pipe will not be needed once the new sewer pipe is installed; it will be abandoned in place with minimal disturbance to the ground above.

 

 

Project Schedule
Staging: Anticipated July 2026
Construction: Summer 2026 - Spring 2027
Restoration: Immediately following construction when seasonably appropriate.

All dates are approximate and subject to change.
