Sewell Project completed; report notes corroded pipe and sinkhole risk near commissioner's office
Summary
County received a completed Sewell Project report describing a corroded pipe—three‑quarters eaten away—located outside and inside a commissioner’s office; crews found a second hole nearby during repairs and the project was reported finished.
County commissioners were briefed on a completed Sewell Project inspection that identified a heavily corroded sewer pipe near a commissioner’s office and described a second hole discovered nearby during repairs.
A commissioner reported the project finished “the day before yesterday” and said a full report and photographs are available for the minutes. Officials described the worst damaged section as roughly three‑quarters eaten away; sewage was running into a hole and could have created a sinkhole. While the speaker noted the damage could have undermined building facades, they said the undermining did not appear to be “tremendous.”
The repairs uncovered a second hole about 5 to 10 feet from the first; crews found problems both outside and inside the office. The commissioner relayed the findings in a light tone but emphasized the work was comprehensive and that the report will be provided for the minutes. No votes or further formal actions were taken during the discussion, and commissioners moved promptly to the next agenda items.
