MetroConnects will protect five sewer crossings in its service area from erosion and increased precipitation.
Greenville, South Carolina: $2.7 Million
Project Description
MetroConnects, a wastewater service for 100,000 Greenville residents and industries, will manage risk for five sewer crossings in its service area. The five areas were identified as most at risk to erosion and exposure to high velocity waters that could carry debris. These five sites serve mostly residential areas, but one critical lifeline is the Prisma Health Greenville Memorial Hospital. At each site, MetroConnects will either armor existing crossings or relocate the sewer line crossings farther away from the streambank. Nature-based solutions will be used, such as stream restoration, to protect assets from future erosion. Ultimately, the project will reduce infrastructure failure caused by erosion and increased precipitation.
