CIPP Lining scheduled for Summer Street from School Street to Benton Road week of May 9th

Beginning on or around May 9, 2022, City contractors will rehabilitate aging sewers on several streets in Spring Hill. Crews will use a method called cured-in-place-pipe lining(External link) (CIPP lining) to provide more structurally sound pipes without excavation.

Locations: Summer Street from Benton Road to School Street

Anticipated Work Schedule: Weekdays between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., starting May 9th for approximately four weeks. Hours may extend to 10 p.m. on streets with larger sewers. Subject to change due to weather or other factors.

Odor: Plastic- or glue-like odors may be detectable when the liner cures. This will dissipate quickly once the process is complete. If you are sensitive to odors, consider opening windows or doors to increase airflow.

Noise: Moderate noise from compressors, blowers, truck engines, and bypass pumps.

Traffic Impacts: On-street parking restrictions expected on both sides of the work zone. Lane shifts and isolated lane closures will be in effect.
