Cleveland Avenue Combined Sewer & Storm Water Improvements

This project involved the construction of approximately 1,100 lineal feet of 48 and 54-inch diameter storm sewers along Cleveland Avenue and 2,000 lineal feet of 30 inch combined sewer along Cleveland and Mount Vernon Avenues. Approximately 900 lineal feet of miscellaneous sanitary and storm sewers ranging in size from 8-inches to 24-inches, including manholes and catch basins were also installed under the project. The project was the first phase of a major sewer separation project in the downtown area. The existing sewers had several defects, including cracked sections, missing pieces, voids, separated joints, etc. Rehabilitation with CIPP techniques was evaluated but not cost effective, because the defects were numerous. As a result, replacement was recommended.
