Site work for a water / sewer project in Cincinnati, Ohio. Conceptual plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

The project was nominated by Wastewater Collection (WWC) due to the observed structural defects and because the existing assets within the project area are located directly adjacent to, or underneath, several residences. During Planning efforts, three separate sewer crossings that run through the cross section of the sewer were discovered, which would not allow the sewer to be lined, and it was found that many homes in the project area experience sewer backups during wet weather. The recommended alternative includes relocating the alignment of 37713030-37713031-37804004. The new alignment consists of approximately 1,000 feet of 54-inch and 1,720 feet of 60-inch combined sewer. Additionally, this alternative requires approximately 13 manholes, 120 laterals to be reconstructed with two-way cleanouts, and 1,600 feet of pipe to be filled, sealed, and abandoned. If the project does not proceed forward, existing assets will remain underneath residential structures, presenting risk. Also, the area has significant capacity issues that would go unaddressed. The project is projected to remove 29 local SBUs from the project area during the 10-year 24-hour storm. As of June 4, 2024, this project is included in the City of Cincinnati's FY 2024 - 2029 CIP and funding is allotted for construction in FY 2028. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change. The content management team will continue to pursue additional details as they become available.
