Cairo board reports manhole overflows; DNR notified
Summary
Board members reported multiple manhole overflows after heavy rain, with DNR called about an overflow on E Martin and at Scott and Main; a resident suggested repairs could follow if Cairo connects with Moberly Sewer.
At the July 21 meeting the board documented multiple manhole overflows following recent heavy rain, including an overflow on E Martin that was reported to the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). The minutes record that the overflow ran into a creek and that the corner of Scott and Main was also reported to DNR.
A resident, identified in the minutes as Clint Cross, "made mention that maintenance and repairs to help avoid these situations would be taken care of if we decided to connect with Moberly Sewer." The minutes also note that manholes along Prather Ave. are allowing storm water into the sanitary system. The board did not record a decision on immediate repairs or on whether to pursue a connection with Moberly Sewer; no budget or timeline was recorded.
