Background
The existing 6-inch sanitary sewers in Everett Avenue between Alma
Street and Waverley street, in Alexis Drive between Alexis Drive
and manhole nuJllber 86-4-5,. and in Newberry Court, are in poor
condition and of inSUfficient size and slope to handle existing

peak wa&t~water flow periods. The wastewater collection system

"
improvements recommended tor construction under this contract ~ere
identified by high priority maintenance problems in the previou31y
mentioned sewer lines of the wastewater collection system.
project Description
The project involves the replacement of existing 6-inch wasteyater
Eains by installing a total of 55 linear feet of 5~inch liner, 1619
linear feet of 8-inch pipe and 561 linear feet of lO-inch pipe.
These new lines will provide improved wastewat6r collection service
for the existing customer service laterals on these streets. The
proposed project will ensure the future inteqrity of the Everett
Avenue sanitary se~er by increasinq the slope and the size of the
existing 6-inch pipe to an a-inch pipe from Alma Street to Bryant
street. The EVerett main vill be increased in size to a lO-inch
pipe from Bryant street to Wa.verley Street, thus providing the
necessary peak flow capacity fer this area. Tha proposed Alexis
Drive sanitary sew-er will be realigned and constructed with a
larger a-inch pipe: also, a SS linear foot section of ~xistinq 6-
inch pipe, located near the intersection of Alexis Drive and
country Club Court, will be sliplined vith polyethylene pipe. The
existinq 6-inch Newberry Court sanitary sewer will he replaced with
an S-inch pipe that will reduce maintenance and increase flow
capacity,
