SEWER PROJECT PERRY HALL MANOR
The Department of Public Works and Transportation is connecting 104 homes in the Perry Hall Manor area in a long-term project to provide sewer service. In September, residents saw topographical and environmental surveyors gathering information for the design phase. The surveyor work has been completed for the moment. Construction is expected to begin in about two years and will take from one to one-and-a-half years to complete.

WATER PROJECT IN PERRY HALL
Baltimore County is replacing 4,000 feet of water line in parts of Seven Courts Drive, Proctor Lane and Gunview Road. Work began in late February and is about 95 percent complete. The contractor’s crews are currently making tie-ins. Contractors have replaced four- and 24-inch diameter prestressed concrete pipe with ductile-iron pipe. The traffic circle was repaired and repaved in December. The project will cost $1.5 million. As the work progresses, residents will be kept informed by the contractor regarding temporary water shutoffs and parking changes needed to facilitate progress. Driving lanes disturbed by construction will be resurfaced upon completion of the project.

SEWER RELINING PROJECT IN CARNEY, PERRY HALL AND TOWSON
The Department of Public Works and Transportation (DPWT) began an extensive sewer relining project in Carney, Perry Hall and Towson in May. It’s 90 percent complete. More than 12 miles of sanitary sewer pipe will be relined during the next year and a half. The project will cost about $5.8 million. Most of the work will be below ground with minimal impact to communities. However, with any project of this scale, there may be some traffic or parking issues, and occasional chemical odors. DPWT staff will issue periodic updates.
