Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Program

This project consists of ongoing City-wide inspection, repair, and rehabilitation of sanitary sewer assets.

Routine sewer maintenance operations have identified sewer mains, laterals, and manholes throughout the sewer utility system requiring rehabilitation, by way of cured-in-lace liner, to correct defects that cause backups, overflows, inflow, and infiltration. 

The second contract year has begun and will focus primarily on the rehabilitation of manholes and service laterals in the Aberdeen Hills area, as well as, some sewer main lining in various locations throughout the City's system.
