The Neighborhood Sanitary Sewer Project includes three various sites. 

The first site, Blue Ridge Terrace south of 23rd Street, replaces two 6-inch mains along Blue Ridge Terrace with a single 8-inch main that will service all the properties along the current main. The project will reduce inflow and infiltration into the existing sanitary sewer mains. Alternates for this design re-align existing sanitary sewer main out from under two buildings. 

The second site, 40th Terrace and Spring Street, relocates an existing main out from under existing stormwater infrastructure, improving conveyance and access for maintenance. 

The third site, 24th Street east of Crysler, relocates the existing sanitary sewer mains out from under two houses. The project also replaces aged infrastructure, reducing inflow/infiltration into the collections system, and improves capacity in the sanitary sewer system. 

Repairs of slope failures located along Crackerneck Creek and its tributaries. Various rain events have resulted in slope failures along the creek. There are several locations where these failures have occurred that have put sanitary sewer mains in jeopardy of failure. This project will address these areas, protecting the sanitary sewer infrastructure.

Program to identify various sanitary sewer pipes and infrastructure citywide that is subject to flooding and erosion from waterways. This project will fund relocation of these mains.

This project will be combined with the Neighborhood Sanitary Sewer Project. 

Studying the sanitary sewer capacity issues within the Upper Adair Creek watershed and eliminating a gravity sewer pipe crossing under I-70 just west of Noland Rd. Also reviewing the potential for an addition of an extraneous flow basin to provide temporary storage in the area which would aid in alleviating the capacity issues.
