In my town near my house there is a large ongoing sewer project progressing. It's been interesting to see these huge pits being dug, the boring operations where they tunnel and shove huge pipes underground from pit to pit, the crews digging down 20 feet or so and laying sewer pipe down the middle of the steets. I guess the long term benefit for those downriver from us is your "skeeter pee" won't actually be really made with pee anymore.
This project is the largest construction project that the Town has initiated in over 30 years. Beginning in the Summer of 2010, and during the next 18 to 24 months, various construction activities will occur along sections of the roadways. This sanitary sewer replacement project is necessary due to the age and ongoing deterioration of the existing sewer system. In recent years, portions of the sewer line have collapsed and during heavy storms the sewer line can back up in localized areas. In addition, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) will be requiring the Town to eliminate overflows from the sanitary sewer to the storm sewers during periods of high flow. This project is the first step in complying with that environmental regulation.
