Preston council: wastewater plant about 90% complete; Main Street lane restrictions coming
Summary
The mayor told the Preston City Council the wastewater treatment plant is roughly 90% complete and is expected to begin operations before year-end; Main Street will face temporary lane restrictions and other sewer-line work will affect traffic and some businesses.
The mayor told the Preston City Council the city's wastewater treatment plant project is about 90% complete and staff expect the system to "begin operations before the end of the year." He said the original construction bid was about $70,000,000, with the city committing up to $34,000,000 and roughly $36,370,000 covered by grants.
The mayor warned that crews will need to rebore a major line under Main Street to First East and that the work will limit Main Street to one lane for an estimated two to three weeks. He said other projects, including work near the railroad tracks and new sewer lines on First West, will be disruptive but are meant to deliver long-term infrastructure that will last decades. Council members urged residents to opt in for website notifications for updates.
