Site work for a water / sewer project in Exeter, New Hampshire. Conceptual plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

This project consists of the removal of vegetation and sediment at the discharge point of the two 36-inch Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) barrels in Clemson Pond. Once the vegation is removed, the two CSO barrells will be cleaned and inspected to assess their condition and determine the remaining useful life of the pipes. The two tide gates that discharge water from Clemson Pond to the Squamscott River will be also inspected. Alternatives and preliminary cost estimates for repair and rehabilitation of the CSO barrels and tide gates will be developed. CSO discharges into Clemson Pond during heavy rain events have resulted in a large, vegetated mass that has formed in front of the two 36-inch CSO barrells, which has reduced discharge capacity. The CSO siphon barrells are of the same vintage as the two 8-inch siphon barrells that were identified as failing and recently replaced. Effective tide gate operation has been impacted by dislodged spillway timber and gasket material that has also reached the end of its useful life The project is included in the City's 2025-2030 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). As of October 27, 2025, further details have not yet been identified. *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.
