Public works outlines multi-project wastewater rehabilitation totaling about $8.8 million
Summary
Public service director James Sutton described completed and upcoming sewer rehabilitation work — lining 28,000 feet of interceptor pipeline, manhole realignments, an aerial pipeline replacement and several subdivision rehabilitations — and said combined projects could total roughly $8.8 million with staggered completion dates through April 2026.
James Sutton, public service director, gave a broad update on ongoing wastewater rehabilitation projects. Sutton said SAK Construction completed lining and structural rehabilitation of about 28,000 feet of interceptor pipeline, and crews plan to realign roughly 24 brick manholes. He reported a remaining scheduled segment of approximately 512 feet will be replaced after contractor scheduling adjustments.
Sutton described a sectional aerial pipeline along the Greenway Trail (about 546 feet) that must be replaced and a second project to rehabilitate 23,714 feet of 8‑inch clay pipeline in Crestland and Landhurst subdivisions; contractors will realign pipes and rehabilitate about two dozen manholes. He said the Carolina Springs Lift Station — in service since the 1950s — is being replaced and that manufacturer delivery is expected in April 2026.
Sutton said the city also submitted requests to add roughly 20,000 feet of pipeline work around Crestland and Lyndhurst and a request to rehabilitate about 8,053 feet of 15‑inch pipeline serving the industrial park off Revco Road. "Total cost of all combined could be about $8,800,000," he said. The transcript records projected completion dates of Dec. 30, 2025 for one interceptor portion and April 2026 for the other projects; staff warned some dates depend on contractor scheduling and approvals.
Council members asked where work on the Greenway would be visible to pedestrians; Sutton said crews will notify the public and begin work in the Atomic Road area with public notices planned.
