Project Status and Funding Source

The project reached completion in March of 2026. 

It was funded by CIP 100600 and was awarded a Community Flood Preparedness Fund Grant.

This project included design, property acquisition and construction of approximately 800 linear feet of storm sewer pipe along South Birdneck Road, between Jackson Street and Sea Street. The pipes replaced the existing 24-inch and 30-inch pipes that collected runoff along South Birdneck Road and from the Seatack neighborhood. 
About 665 linear feet of 48-inch storm drainpipe replaced the existing 36-inch pipe along Jackson Street, providing additional capacity to the stormwater system along South Birdneck Road to mitigate existing flooding conditions in the Seatack Neighborhood.

In addition, cost-sharing agreements were coordinated with the Stormwater Management Regulatory Division within Public Works Engineering and the Department of Public Utilities to include the following work:

  • Installation of a manufactured treatment device (MTD) near the outfall at Jackson Street.
  • Select water and sewer replacements.
