Other High Priority Projects

Wastewater Pumping Station Upgrades

Several of the Town’s wastewater pumping stations are more than 25 years old and it can be difficult to find replacement mechanical and electrical parts for them. This project will replace older mechanical and control equipment to increase the reliability of these stations. Priority locations include the following neighborhoods: Karr Heights, Shawnee, Sturbridge Square, Wyatt Farms, Highland Park and Brookfield.

Repair & Replacement of Sanitary Sewer Lines

Degraded and/or broken sanitary sewer lines do not provide adequate service and are at high-risk for inflow and infiltration, which allows groundwater to seep into sewer pipes. Inflow from heavy storm events can overwhelm these older sewer lines, causing backups and pooling of wastewater. A cross-departmental sanitary sewer working group has identified and prioritized specific locations for sanitary sewer line repair, replacement and/or lining to protect public health and ensure uninterrupted service to residents.
