Sewer Project Update

On January 13, 2010, the Sewer Authority voted to award the contracts for construction of the 8 inch force main that will convey the sewage from the project area in the Ridley Creek watershed to the Media Treatment Plant. This line consists of 8000 feet of 8 inch pipe from Rose Tree Road to the treatment plant along Ridley Creek Road. The second contract is for the construction of the sewer collection system in the phase I area. While we had hoped to begin construction around the turn of the year, the actual construction will begin around the beginning of March and is expected to be completed by early August. If all goes according to plans, construction of the other phases will follow in succession. I have included a revised project schedule. I will update this schedule as needed.
The Authority is close to formalizing a policy to address the concerns of home owners who have fairly new on-site systems and who have expressed their view that the connection required date should be extended in such cases. Please call if you have any question regarding this matter.
