CLAY, N.Y. — Construction is starting on the White Pine municipal pump station project along Route 31 in the town of Clay.
“In support of anticipated residential, commercial, and industrial growth within the unsewered area surrounding the White Pine project area, Onondaga County is installing new sewers and building a new municipal pump station and force mains,” as written on a poster detailing the project that was displayed at a Thursday morning ceremony celebrating the project’s start.
The late-morning event was held on the property at 5064 State Route 31 in the town of Clay, just south of the intersection with Caughdenoy Road.

“[This is] certainly a specific, really important piece of infrastructure that’s being built. But, really, it’s the first piece, the first groundbreaking of the development of something much bigger, and that’s the Central New York semiconductor cluster,” Onondaga County Executive Ryan McMahon said in his remarks about the $37.6 million investment.
Onondaga County described it as “another major milestone for the Micron project.” Micron Technology Inc. (NASDAQ: MU) is preparing to build a semiconductor-manufacturing campus in the White Pine Commerce Park along Route 31 in the town of Clay.
The pump station will serve the developments east of the railroad, along Route 31, and areas north and south along Caughdenoy Road. The pump station will receive sanitary sewer flow and convey it to the Oak Orchard wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) for treatment, per the poster.
The Oak Orchard wastewater-treatment plant is located at 4300 Oak Orchard Road in the town of Clay.
The new pump station is designed to be hydraulically expandable over the projected sewer buildout period. Based on the projected range of flows, two force mains will be used, one 10-inch and one 18-inch diameter, high density polyethylene pipelines.
“The force mains length from the pump station to the Oak Orchard WWTP is 20,400 feet,” the poster read.
The building’s architecture is designed to blend in with the surrounding environment and resembles a similar, nearby railroad depot building, per the poster.

Inc. is the general contractor; O’Connell Electric Company Inc. is the electrical contractor; Advanced Sheet Metal, Inc. is the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) contractor; and Burns Bros. of Syracuse is the plumbing contractor on the project, per the poster.
