Town manager details multi‑generational sewer‑main problems and ongoing repairs
Summary
Town Manager Mike Majher told council that recent sewer‑main replacements on Green Street revealed longstanding improper lateral connections and groundwater infiltration; he said repairs are ongoing, manholes are being fixed, JLC is the contractor, and sump‑pump inspections continue.
Town Manager Mike Majher detailed ongoing sewer‑main repair work during the May 6 Stephens City council meeting, saying staff displayed pipe samples from a recently replaced sewer main on Green Street and described a history of improperly done lateral connections that allowed groundwater intrusion.
Majher said the replacements are part of a broader corrective program and reported ‘‘we are 10 for 10 on water/sewer repairs’’ for locations inspected. He said contractor JLC has been doing responsive work, that manholes are being replaced or repaired, and that the town is continuing sump‑pump inspections to address inflow and infiltration concerns.
Council members pressed staff on oversight; Majher said staff are verifying current work and that the projects are progressing. The minutes do not include specific cost figures, timelines to completion, or the total number of remaining deficient laterals; those details were not specified in the meeting record.
The town will continue to document repairs and verify contractor performance as the projects move forward.
