What is the purpose of the project?
This project will upgrade the Buffalo Sewer Authority’s
sewer system along East Delavan Avenue, Florida Street,
and Spillman Place. New underground facilities will
store rainwater and sewage, (also known as combined
sewage), and send it to the Bird Island Wastewater
Treatment Facility.
GOALS:
- Reduce the number and volume of Combined Sewer
Overflows, also known as CSOs, - Prevent combined sewage from backing up into
buildings or flooding streets during large rain
events, and - Improve the water quality in Scajaquada Creek,
Hoyt Lake, and Black Rock Canal.

community and protect our environment by:
• Reducing pollution entering our waterways and
• Reducing future flooding events.
It also includes community betterment initiatives, like:
• New trees and revitalized landscaping in the project
vicinity,
• New water and sewer pipes, and
• Workforce development opportunities.
When will the construction start and end?
the Fall of 2024 and end in the Spring of 2025.
Construction on East Delavan and Spillman Place is
anticipated to begin in 2026 and last up to 5 years.
Will there be noise during the construction?
in the vicinity of the construction activities you will
experience more noise than usual.
How will construction affect traffic in the area? What about medical transport?
closed during portions of the construction period. Traffic
will be redirected or rerouted so you will be able to
reach your destination. All traffic will be redirected
based on the City of Buffalo guidelines.
How will the construction impact local businesses and services?
will ensure emergency services can access all locations
despite any road closures.
Parking or Public Transport
may occur during construction, but services will continue
with rerouted routes. Updates will be provided in
advance.
Will trees be cut down as part of this project?
public right-of-way will be removed.
BSA will plant new trees once construction is
completed.
Working with the City of Buffalo Bureau of Forestry,
residents may help determine the species of the
new trees.
Are there any community meetings or updates planned to keep residents informed about the progress of the construction?
updates via council district breakfasts, community
events, and a Community Advisory Committee (CAC) of
local residents and stakeholders.
