Swisher council approves initial sewer televising plan, considers using bond funds

Oct 28, 2024

Consultant Tim of HR Green proposed a 10‑year sewer maintenance cycle and recommended televising several regions first; the council authorized seeking proposals to camera Regions 1–4 and discussed using leftover Division Street bond funds to accelerate work before a May 2025 spending deadline.

The full story

At the Sept. 23 meeting Tim of HR Green presented a proposed sanitary‑sewer maintenance program that breaks Swisher into 10 regions on a 10‑year cycle. He told the council the city has roughly 33,000 linear feet of pipe of mixed age and construction and offered a planning estimate of about $4 per foot to televise lines to assess condition; the program’s rough annual baseline for work was estimated around $50,000, but those figures are preliminary pending actual televising results.
