The City of Manhattan is continuing its cured-in-place pipe, or CIPP, sewer rehabilitation projects this week, with crews working in several neighborhoods.
Residents may notice trucks accessing sewer lines and steam rising from manhole covers during the process. City officials said the steam is a normal part of the pipe lining operation and is not a cause for concern.
Work this week is scheduled near CiCo Park between Robinson Drive and Dickens Avenue, the Westwind Drive and Anderson Avenue area, and the Willard Street and Bellehaven Road area.
The city uses trenchless cured-in-place pipe technology to rehabilitate aging sewer lines. The process installs a resin-impregnated liner inside existing pipes, creating a seamless “pipe-within-a-pipe” that extends the life of the sewer system while avoiding extensive excavation.
