East Granby reports sewer grouting, will evaluate slip-lining as I&I work continues
Summary
First Select person Jason Hayes said contractors have performed grouting in the town’s sewer subsections, with Bradley Park Road showing highest inflow; he said the grouting is under a one-year warranty and the town is awaiting camera and smoke-testing cost estimates before deciding on slip-lining. Meter pit work on Route 20 will require excavation and several days of traffic control.
East Granby officials are continuing inflow and infiltration (I&I) work on the town sewer system and will decide soon whether to follow grouting with more permanent slip-lining, First Select person Jason Hayes said.
"We've already started work on that area. They've been in there three days. We look we're expecting about another two days of grouting work to happen," Hayes said of the Bradley Park Road area, which he identified as Subsection 7 and said showed the most significant infiltration during a recent I&I study. Hayes told the board the grouting contract includes a one-year guarantee, creating a timeline pressure to decide whether to slip-line the oldest concrete sections to ensure longevity.
Hayes said the town’s consultant divided the system into seven subsections; Subsections 4 and 5 also showed elevated infiltration but at lower levels. He said the town is "awaiting an estimate" for camera and smoke testing for those subsections and will bring pricing back to the town once available.
In separate sewer-related work, Hayes described repairs at Meter Pit 5 near the Air National Guard complex on Route 20. The preformed flume that must be installed does not fit down the manhole, so crews will excavate beside the road, bring the flume in, and are planning approximately 5–6 days of work with bypass pumping and traffic impacts.
"So we are replacing that flume... we are looking at probably about 5 or 6 days of work for that because we do have to bypass pump all the sewage," Hayes said, adding that the work will require ramps for National Guard access and lane restrictions during construction.
Hayes said the town will present cost estimates for camera/smoke testing and any slip-lining to the public when they are available and will update residents on schedule and traffic controls.
No formal decisions or votes on slip-lining or contract awards were taken at the meeting.
