DESCRIPTION:  This project will resolve right-of-way issues by acquiring a new easement, construct a new sewer alignment within the new easement, and abandon the existing sewer alignment in place.  The project will primarily construct 442 linear feet of 8-inch sanitary sewer and three manholes.  The scope of work also includes abandonment of 410 linear feet of existing 8-inch sanitary sewer and one manhole, rehabilitation of three manholes, extension of an existing side sewer to the new sewer main with installation of a cleanout, traffic control, potholing, sewage flow control, dewatering, and site restoration.  The majority of the project will occur on the 888 Howe Road property, but short portions of the work will also occur in public right-of-way on Howe Road and on the neighboring properties at 886 Howe Road and 2858 Parkway Drive.

JUSTIFICATION:  The pipelines crossing the three private properties above are known to have severe defects and must be replaced.  Additionally, a large warehouse at 888 Howe Road was previously constructed above one of the pipelines.  Acquiring the new easement will alleviate this significant above-ground obstruction, resolve right-of-way issues, and improve future maintenance access.

ESTIMATED TOTAL PROJECT COST:  $1,512,000

ANTICIPATED CONSTRUCTION COMPLETION:  2026
