Old Greenwich Common Force Main Rehabilitation

GREENWICH, CT — The Sewer Division of the Department of Public Works for the Town of Greenwich will be rehabilitating a portion of the Old Greenwich Common Force Main, beginning mid-June in the area of the Riverside train station parking lot entrance on Oval Avenue to Summit Avenue, ending at the pump station.

This work is one segment of the Old Greenwich Common Force Main and includes the replacement/installation of approximately 4,000 linear feet of new force main. This force main carries wastewater under pressure from the Old Greenwich Pumping Station.

According to the DPW, the work is being done as part of regular maintenance work to improve the town's infrastructure and the reliability and service life of the force main. Also, the Town is under a Consent Decree to complete the work.

Specific details haven't been released yet, but work is generally scheduled for Monday through Friday during the day. There may be a few exceptions during the project to help facilitate the construction. Sewer construction is anticipated to occur from June 2021 through December 2021, according to DPW. Final Paving would occur in the Spring/Summer of 2022.

DPW says that for a majority of the construction, there will be alternating two way traffic through the work zones with police detail. However, there will be periods where roads will have to be closed with detours around the work zones.
