Greenburgh Insider: Town of Greenburgh: East Hartsdale Ave sewer pipe break update (in front of 100, 120, 80 E Hartsdale Ave).

Some positive news. But, sorry for the inconveniences many have experienced.

In recent weeks residents of E Hartsdale Ave have been impacted by a sewer pipe break. There has been some traffic delays, construction activity and inconveniences to residents. This is an update (July 2). Will continue to provide updates.

 

After weeks of jetting and cleaning the sewer pipes, the contractor has reached the damaged area and was able to video the pipe and provide a location and type of damage. It appears that the break has been isolated to the area of the manhole in front of 100 East Hartsdale Avenue and the downstream pipe just outside of the manhole. The condition of the downstream pipe appears to be largely undamaged. The downstream pipe appears to have been clogged primarily with the debris associated with the collapsing manhole in front of 100 East Hartsdale Avenue.

 

It should not require the Town to need to replace the downstream pipe and may allow us to “slipline” the pipe to provide it with some additional strength moving forward. The Town’s contractor is working on designing sheeting and will thereafter install  the sheeting to ensure that they can safely excavate down to replace the manhole and adjoining pipe sections. We have been updated that the contractor’s Engineer is still in the process of designing the sheeting and has completed its geotechnical investigation.
