The City of Maitland will continue work in September to expand central sewer service in the Dommerich Hills neighborhood. Construction initially will focus on Phase 2 (see map), which includes Thunder Trail, Big Bend Trail, Saginaw Trail, Chanute Trail, Chippewa Trail, Mohawk Trail and Chinook Trail (east of Kewannee Trail), as well as Native Court and the eastern segment of Tuscarora Trail within city limits.
Phases 3 and 4 will follow, although construction in some areas may be advanced to coincide with Phase 2 work. Primary work will install sewer main underneath roadways. Property owners will be notified when construction is scheduled to begin on each street, coordinating for needed vehicle detours and alternate parking locations.
Dommerich Hills neighbors located in Phases 2-4 of the City of Maitland sewer expansion are invited to an upcoming public meeting to discuss details of the project. City representatives will share information and answer questions from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 25, at Maitland Presbyterian Church, 341 N. Orlando Ave. in downtown Maitland. Signs will be posted around the site to direct participants to the meeting inside the church gymnasium.
The city recently completed the first phase of the Dommerich Hills sewer expansion, which included lateral connections for about 90 homes, retirement of a 57-year-old sewer lift station on Deloraine Trail and startup of a new lift station on Tuscarora Trail. Roads also were resurfaced and sidewalks were added on some streets. Construction for project Phase 2 (see map) is scheduled to begin in September. The remaining two phases will follow, but some areas may be advanced to coincide with Phase 2.
New pipelines in Phases 2-4 will connect about 340 additional homes to central sewer, providing amore efficient, reliable and environmentally safe solution to privately maintained septic tanks. Work also will restore several neighborhood streets impacted by construction.
