Fair Oaks City Council approves utility easement from Pouncey family for sewer improvements

The Fairhope City Council made significant strides in improving local infrastructure during their meeting on April 14, 2025, by approving a crucial resolution for the Fairview Sewer Utility Improvements project. The council unanimously accepted a right of entry and permanent utility easement from the Fair Single Tax Corporation, along with Arthur R. Pouncey and Pam Pouncey, for a total cost of $3,024.

This easement allows the city to access and maintain a 180-degree return on a force main, which is essential for the public sewer system. The project, located at 9621 Fairview, Alabama, aims to enhance the efficiency and reliability of the sewer utility, ensuring better service for residents.

Council members expressed their support for the motion, with one member humorously questioning the clarity of the $3,024 figure, highlighting the council's commitment to transparency in financial matters. The motion passed smoothly, reflecting a collaborative effort to address the community's infrastructure needs.

As Fairhope continues to grow, this resolution marks a vital step toward maintaining and improving essential services for its residents, with further developments expected as the project progresses.
