The City will begin rehabilitating a portion of its public combined sewer lines using the Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) process beginning May 3, weather permitting. The project is anticipated to be complete by July 9.
During the sewer rehabilitation process, a liner is inserted into the public sewer that will seal the building sewer service connection, preventing it from flowing into the public sewer. The City requests that residents limit water usage when sewer lines are being rehabilitated in front of their buildings. Also, any sump pumps that are connected to the combined sewer system should be disconnected during this period. When installation of the liner is complete, the contractor will reestablish 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 prior to work beginning. An additional notice will be placed on the front doorknob of affected buildings advising occupants 24 hours in advance of the specific date and time of work. This work should take approximately 12 hours to complete at each location. “No Parking” signs will be posted in the area where the rehabilitation work will restrict parking.

 Information on Styrene
The resins used in the lining process have been used in the fiberglass industry for years. These resins contain a chemical called styrene that hardens when heated. Although styrene has an unpleasant odor, it is not dangerous at the levels at which people can detect it.
City Monitoring
