Lawrence Utilities reports I&I study at Harrison Point; preconstruction meeting set for Indian Creek bridge rehabilitation
Summary
Lawrence Utilities reported completion of an inflow and infiltration study for Harrison Point apartments and said a preconstruction meeting is scheduled for the Indian Creek bridge rehabilitation project with contractors and the utility.
Lawrence Utilities told the board that American StructurePoint completed an inflow and infiltration (I&I) study of the sewer system serving Harrison Point apartments and that staff and the consultant will contact the property owner and management to present the findings and request repairs to eliminate sources of I&I.
The superintendent said this is the fourth private sanitary sewer system the utility has worked on with StructurePoint to identify and remove sources of inflow and infiltration in areas identified in an administrative order of consent issued by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for chronic sanitary sewer overflows.
The superintendent also said a preconstruction meeting for the Indian Creek bridge rehabilitation project is scheduled for the next day and will include Aegis BLN, Hoosier Pride Excavating and Lawrence Utilities. The meeting will cover start date and a tentative schedule; staff said they hope to start by Oct. 1 and complete work by November.
Why it matters: I&I reduction is a regulatory and environmental priority when municipal systems are subject to EPA orders addressing sanitary sewer overflows; repairing private system connections can reduce excess flow into the municipal system. The Indian Creek bridge rehabilitation is a capital project that may affect schedules for related utility work.
What was said and what was not: The utility said staff will contact the Harrison Point property owner/management to inform them of study results and required repairs; the transcript does not record a property response or a formal enforcement action. The superintendent gave a hoped-for start date (Oct. 1) and target completion (by November) for the Indian Creek project, but those dates were described as tentative and dependent on contractor scheduling.
Next steps: Staff will contact Harrison Point management about repairs and will hold the preconstruction meeting for Indian Creek bridge rehabilitation to confirm start dates and schedules.
