Project Description

Recent changes to the Intermunicipal Agreement with the Town of Derry has necessitated the construction of a sewer line and pump station to connect to existing sewer infrastructure leading to the Manchester Waste Water Treatment Plant, as the Derry Waste Water Treatment Plant does not have have sufficient capacity to meet the needs of future development in south Londonderry and Woodmont Commons. The current Intermunicipal agreement between the Towns of Londonderry and Derry allots Londonderry a total of 500,000 gpd, while existing and future development in south Londonderry, including the west side of Woodmont Commons, is projected to demand the need for about 1,000,000 gpd of flow.\n \n In the Woodmont Commons Planned Unit Development (PUD) alone, about 400 acres has been designated for commercial, institutional and residential development. The Woodmont Commons PUD Master Plan for this area permits up to 1,080 new residential dwelling units, 170,000 square feet of institutional uses (hospital, nursing home, assisted living), 532,500 square feet of commercial space and 300,000 square feet of office space. The construction of sewer infrastructure is essential for the economic growth of this area, as well as the remaining undeveloped areas in south Londonderry, in accordance with the Woodmont Commons PUD Master Plan.\n \n The capacity limitations can be expected to inhibit the development of other parts of south Londonderry. This project will also facilitate the faster development of the Exit 4A area on the east side of Interstate 93, which is also part of the PUD. The Exit 4A sewer flows can only be redirected to Manchester at great expense. By redirecting Woodmont Commons flows to Manchester, the Town anticipates the Derry plant can receive the Exit 4A flows without incurring these prohibitive costs.
