City says contractor was televising sewers downtown after residents reported truck activity
Summary
A resident asked whether camera trucks seen downtown were legitimate; the council said the city authorized a contractor to televise and clean sewers from Fifth Street to the canal to address a downtown odor.
A resident asked the LaSalle City Council whether the camera truck seen near Florence and Joliet in December was legitimate work. City staff confirmed the city had authorized a contractor to televise sewers from Fifth Street down to the canal and to perform cleaning on a time-and-material basis to address occasional downtown sewer odors.
Phil Garvey, who identified his address as 754 4th Street, described seeing the truck and crews at 4th and Joliet several times in December and asked whether the activity was official. A city representative replied that the contractor had been authorized to televise sewer lines and that crews had been working from the east end toward downtown.
The exchange concluded with the council confirming that the televising and cleaning work was an approved maintenance activity; no formal vote or additional funding request was recorded on this agenda item.
