Project Description
The City of Alexandria repaired a damaged 10-inch sanitary sewer main along Franklin Street between South Patrick Street and South Alfred Street. A CCTV inspection of the sanitary sewer identified structural damage to the 10-inch sewer main and plant roots causing residential sewer backups. The solution consisted of the installation of a new 10-inch sanitary sewer pipe, manholes and laterals, and replacing other damaged portions.
