To minimize inconveniences to property and business owners, Hamilton County is initiating a construction coordination program to ensure that sewer-related construction is planned in coordination with road, water line, gas line, etc. construction by other utilities.

The projects are listed under five different categories.

Project Groundwork - Phase 1

These include Phase 1 wet weather projects to be completed by 2018. Some are currently in construction, while others are scheduled for future construction.

Project Groundwork - Asset Management

These projects help rebuild our aging sewer system. Asset management projects are generated internally at MSD and are prioritized each year based on criteria such as condition of the sewer or other equipment and operating efficiency.

Project Groundwork - MSD Environmental Program

These projects seek to prevent, reduce, or delay stormwater from entering combined sewers. These solutions include controlling runoff from hillsides, removing streams from combined sewer system intakes, installing storm water retention basins and using other controls such as pervious pavement, rain gardens or rainwater harvesting systems.

Project Groundwork - Assessment Sewers

These projects bring sewer service to unsewered areas of Hamilton County. Assessment sewers are built at the expense of property owners. A majority of the affected property owners must approve the new sewers. A portion of the cost is offset by Hamilton County.

Project Groundwork - Trenchless Technology Program

These projects include relining of deteriorated sewers and rehabilitation of manholes to prevent inflow and infiltration of water.

Orange Barrels Are a Good Thing… Really

While most of us dread the rollout of the orange barrels, they do signify that improvements are on their way.

Just take a deep breath, leave plenty of time to get to where you're going, and remember how great it will be when it's all done.

Here's a list of potential temporary inconveniences, and disruptions you may encounter during a sewer construction project:

• Noise, dust/dirt, and vibrations
• Traffic delays due to lane closures
• Brief delays in accessing driveways or the street
• Prohibited or restricted on-street parking in immediate construction zone
• Concrete barricades and fencing
• Disruption of services such as telephone or cable TV (will be corrected immediately)
• Staging of construction equipment in the area
• Parked vehicles from construction crews
• Temporary aboveground pumps or hoses (known as bypass pumping)
• Cracks in concrete (will be restored if the result of construction)
• Disturbed grass (will be restored if the result of construction)
