Floodwater cleanup continues at site for Harrods Run repair

Cleanup
December 26, 2019

Cleanup from floodwaters that delayed repair work on a sewer line in Prospect continues at the site behind Harrods Run Road and Timber Creek Court. Construction of the steel safety enclosure that will protect workers as they do the repair 35-feet below ground level on a section of the 30-inch force main that runs under Harrods Creek will continue through the weekend.

Temporary pumps continue to keep the wastewater flowing inside the sewer system and out of Harrods Creek. Though measures have been taken to dampen noise generated by these pumps, those measures do not eliminate the noise. We will stop operating the temporary pumps as soon as it is practical to do so.

Sewer service will continue uninterrupted during the repair operation. But residents should avoid contact with Harrods Creek from the Harrods Run Road area to the Ohio River.
