James Island PSD Project on Dills Bluff
The James Island Public Service District is repairing wastewater pipes under Dills Bluff Road. The result has been a major traffic snarl on James Island. Dills Bluff is a South Carolina Department of Transportation Road, and SCDOT permitted the work by the JIPSD's contractor. SCDOT engineers have been contacted to correct problems with signage and detours.
The James Island PSD website states:
"Road Closures:
March 2014 - The James Island Public Service District will be making repairs and rehabilitating the 24” ductile iron sewer pipe running down Dills Bluff Road from Camp Road to just beyond Sigsbee Road. During this period there will be lane closures and possibly additional temporary road closures. Please check this website for additional information until the work is completed at the end of March 2014."
According to the JIPSD Engineer:
"Pursuant to a contract with the District, Insituform has started the CIPP sewer inning process for the 24" trunk sewer on Dills Bluff Road.
This work is being done in accordance with SCDOT approved traffic control plans. Two additional sigh boards were added today to provide additional advanced notifications to drivers approaching the work zone.
The liner insertion work being done now is essential to insuring the structural integrity of this 3 decade old sewer and prevent additional cave-ins in the future. This work will continue until mid-April on a " rolling basis" as the CIPP sewer lining and manhole repair work progresses.
Regrettably, there are no other repair alternatives short of open excavation down the center of the roadway to replace this deepest, largest trunk sewer on James Island."
As of this afternoon, Wednesday March 12, we received the following report from the JIPSD Wastewater supervisor:
"Work on Dills Bluff will continue through the night and into tomorrow. The road remains closed until the liner is cured and inspected. "
If you have any concerns about this process, please contact the JIPSD.
