Project Overview

Capital Region Water kicked off a $1.3 million sewer replacement project on Monday, November 14th. This project will resolve broken sewer mains and will ensure reliable wastewater service for several decades by replacing and renewing aging sewer infrastructure at ten locations in Harrisburg, PA.

This project was initiated after structural deficiencies in the sewers were identified through video inspection of sewer pipes in 2015 and 2016.

The seven locations listed below will require street excavation to install new sewer mains:

Potential impacts of this construction include:
Street closures, no parking, construction noise, and temporary sewer service interruptions. Working hours will be 7:00 AM – 5:00PM, Monday through Friday. This project will not require access to customers’ homes. When the pipe replacement is complete, the road will be temporarily patched until final street restoration in the spring of 2017. Customers in the affected area will be notified door to door prior to construction with additional details.

Cured-in-place pipe:
Three sewer mains on Crescent Street, Maclay Street, and Parkway Drive will be renewed with a cured-in-placed pipe (inserting a new pipe into an existing pipe) and do not require street excavation.  Potential impacts from the cured in place lining include: temporary traffic disturbance, temporary sewer service interruption.  Customers in the affected area will be notified door to door prior to this work with additional details.
