As part of a long-term effort to reduce basement backups and sewer overflows, MSD Project Clear is constructing a project to install approximately 2,800 feet of wastewater sewers in the City of Overland.
MSD Project Clear is investing approximately $2 million to improve wastewater sewers in the City of Overland. The goal is to reduce basement backups and sewer overflows, which occur when the sewers become overloaded during intense rainfall. This project will reduce such occurrences by increasing the size and capacity of the existing sewer. It will also allow MSD to eliminate 2 sanitary sewer overflow points.
This project will be constructed by digging through the surface of the ground in a process known as “open-cut” construction. The pictures above depict what a neighborhood will look like before, during and after a typical open-cut project.
With any type of construction, residents can expect to see and hear heavy equipment during the sewer excavation process.
TRAFFIC: MSD Project Clear does expect traffic disruptions as a part of this project. There will likely be temporary lane closures, road closures, and/or detours. Impacted roadways in which construction will take place include Wabaday Avenue, Seneca Lane, Goodale Avenue, South Milton Avenue, and Sycamore Way.
RESTORATION: After all new sewer pipes are installed, the contractor will restore the construction site according to all MSD and local requirements. This could include sodding any disturbed areas, replacing disturbed pavement, reinstalling fences, etc.
At least one MSD Inspector will be on-site part of the day for every day the contractor is working.
This is the current tentative project schedule. This is subject to change based on a variety of factors, including weather.
