Mr. Dulle said that Vandevanter Engineering will start the repairs on the Moro Road lift station this week. The floor of the lift station collapsed and the pump is not able to line up properly with the sewer lines and it is leaking. Steel plates will have to be added to the bottom.
There was a water main break that was discovered in January on Shore Drive SW, behind Behme’s Market. The line was at a depth of 6’ and was difficult to find and repair. A lot of the PVC and the connectors had to be replaced and several tons of rock had to be poured on top, so the expense was more than expected.
