2013 Sewer Lining Project

The City of Urbana is upgrading 13,000 feet of sewer pipe to maintain the integrity of the sanitary and storm sewer systems in the area.
Beginning Wednesday, January 22, 2014 through Tuesday, February 11, 2014 weather permitting Hoerr Construction, Inc. from Peoria, Illinois will be performing sewer lining at various locations around Urbana. You will be notified via a door hanger brochure if the sanitary sewer that serves your house is being lined.
This sewer lining process relies on trenchless sewer reconstruction technology that does not involve time consuming, expensive and disruptive open excavations. Instead of digging up and replacing the old pipe, the cured-in-place process provides for the insertion of a special lining inside the old pipe. The new liner creates a watertight, smooth-surfaced and long-lasting pipe within the old sewer.
Locations affected by the Sewer Lining Project include:
• Back yards from 609 to 615 Colorado Avenue / 608 to 614 E. Harding Drive
• Goose Alley and Parking Lot 2 adjacent to Water Street
• Coler Avenue between California Avenue and Oregon Street
