Sewer Work Slated For Southington

SOUTHINGTON, CT — The Town of Southington will continue its sanitary sewer preventative maintenance program utilizing the services of Layne Inliner, LLC of Fairfield, Maine for cleaning and inspecting sanitary sewer lines throughout the town.

If necessary, a cured in place sanitary sewer liner will be installed inside the existing Town sewer pipes. This process will minimize root and water infiltration and allow for a smoother interior surface without the need to excavate the street.

For streets identified for sewer lining (noted as “install” on the monthly schedule), property owners will receive two notices - the first notification one week before and a second the day before the lining work. We encouraged minimal water use during the lining process.

Toilets may be flushed when necessary, but residents are being urged to reduce or eliminate activities like laundry and dishwashing from 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Town officials said they expect cleaning and inspection work to take place starting on Feb. 19 and to continue throughout the calendar year.

Sewer lining is tentatively scheduled to start on Feb. 27 and will continue throughout the calendar year.

Police will be on-site to direct traffic and engineering staffers will be available for questions.

A weekly schedule for the cleaning and lining work will be posted and updated on the Town’s website.

For general information contact, Keith Hayden, director of public works or James Grappone, assistant town engineer, at 860-276-6231.
