A Message from Supervisor Barrett and Saratoga County Sewer Department:
Saratoga County Sewer District (SCSD) had a gravity sewer main break around August 3rd in the area of Tulip Terrace. Upon trying to repair the pipe over the course of 4-5days, it was found that the pipe was in very poor condition.
A plan was quickly developed to replace the sewer line in this area in lieu of continuous repairs. The work that has been completed from August 11th to date is the replacement of this sewer line. The groundwater table is high in this location, causing the work to progress slowly.
The pipe installation should be completed by September 22nd with a plan to complete restoration and paving by October 15th. Paving timeframe will be dependent on contractor availability.
SCSD personnel will be performing inspections in this vicinity this fall to develop a repair plan for pipes in similar condition before catastrophic failure.
