The City of Virginia Beach awarded the construction work for replacement of the sanitary sewer pump station located at 728 Kingston Drive to Trident Civil of Virginia Beach.  The contract is approved and the contractor is scheduled to start construction on Monday, November 2nd.  Kings Grant residents near the construction site will receive formal notification of the work from the city this week.  At this time the contractor does not foresee the need for an off-site material staging area.

The existing pump station was built in 1968 and is at the end of its useful service life. It also has capacity limits that could lead to possible sanitary sewer overflows.  In addition to replacing the building, the pressurized sewer main from the building to its tie in with another main on Oxford Drive will be relined to extend the life of the pipe without need for replacement.  Besides the building demolition and construction, impact will primarily be to residents along Berkley Place and Berkley Court.  The contractor will generally work between 7am- 4 pm.  Work is expected to take 10-12 months.

Project updates will be posted here as they are received from the city or the contractor.
