Fleet Street Sewer Separation

The sewer separation project on Fleet Street is required through the City's Long Term Control Plan and Supplemental Compliance Plan. The project includes water, sewer, drainage upgrades along with full streetscape rework and other pedestrian enhancements. Funding for this work will come from the Water and Sewer Enterprise Funds and the General Fund. 

Given the scope of this project, it will need to be completed in phases: Phase 1, a new drain line from Maplewood Avenue to the outfall at North Mill Pond; Phase 2, infrastructure work in the Vaughan Mall and upper Congress Street area, followed by Vaughan Mall design improvements; and Phase 3 on Fleet Street from Hanover Street to Court Street as well as a potential expansion of the project limits as determined during the design.

The City Council authorized bonding for this project at their August 4, 2025 meeting.

Phase 1: Wetland permitting is in process for work on the outfall at North Mill Pond from a new Maplewood Avenue stormwater drain pipe.

Phase 2: Vaughan Mall infrastructure replacement work begins after September 1, 2025. 

Phase 3: Fleet Street Redesign

Update July 2025

Phase 2: Public input meeting on Vaughan Mall design was held on July 7. For details, go to the Vaughan Mall Project page.

Project pre-construction meeting for work starting the week of September 1 is scheduled for August 20, 2025. Go to the meeting notice.
