100 E Hartsdale Ave Sewer Break Repair Project

under design and funding application

Repair project for a sewer break that occurred around Memorial Day 2024 at 100 E. Hartsdale Ave. The break is atypical, 35 feet deep, involving 90-year-old, 16-inch piping under a 60-year-old building. The project involves rerouting the sewer line around the building, with temporary sewage diversion via pumping. The project is costly, estimated between $10 million and $16 million, with applications for state grants underway. The original design team, Collier's Engineering, is designing the permanent rerouting plan, which is about 80% complete. Additional exploratory work is being conducted to find better alternatives. The project also includes coordination with the building's team and capital budget planning for continuing repairs and flood mitigation studies in the area.
