Project Information

Project Overview

The work includes the replacement of the sanitary sewer main along S. Paterson St from E. Washington Ave to Williamson St.  The project is being completed in conjunction with the development at 306 S. Paterson St & 838 Williamson St.  The project is needed to upsize the sanitary sewer to serve the increase in flow from these new developments.

Phase one (dashed line portion on map) will include installation of a large steel casing pipe under the railroad crossing between E. Main St and Williamson St.  Phase two (solid line portion on map) will include the installation of the new sanitary sewer main.  Pavement restoration will occur during both phases to keep the street passable.
