Gorham St. Sanitary Sewer Replacement
Project Details
Project Information
Latest Update
2022 Update:
This project is complete.
Project Overview
The project spans from East Gorham Street between North Butler Street and North Livingston Street. This project is necessary because the sanitary sewer is old and is undersized for today’s design standards. It is deteriorating and reaching the end of its service life. The sewer was built in 1904. Typically, a life span of a sewer facility is 100 years. The pipes are showing cracks, fractures and breaks, which requires that it be replaced to make sure there are no future failures. This project will replace the sanitary sewer main pipe, the sanitary sewer laterals (smaller branching pipes from the main), and any curb, sidewalk and driveway aprons that may be impacted because of the sewer replacement or are in deteriorated condition. There may also be selective storm sewer work included when needed in the area.
The City plans to resurface Gorham Street in 2021.
Project Limits
E. Gorham St. between N. Butler St. and N. Livingston St.
