Council approves $124,000 emergency culvert, sewer reroute to protect 100 homes
Summary
The East Ridge City Council approved a $124,000 contract to replace a corroded culvert and reroute a sanitary sewer line on Manna Lane, saying the crossing serves more than 100 homes and must be fixed before a failure could cut off access. Construction is expected to last about 14 working days and tentatively begin Sept. 28.
The East Ridge City Council on Sept. 10 approved resolution 38-51 to award a contract for emergency repair of the Manna Lane culvert and rerouting of a sanitary sewer line.
City management said corrosion at the culvert threatens the single access route serving roughly 100 residential units and that failure could cut off access. “It is gonna cost a $124,000,” City Manager Corral said, adding that the project’s driver is moving the sewer line out of the stormwater channel to maintain required separation and protect the sewer infrastructure.
Staff told council the work should take 14 working days, with traffic reduced to a single lane during construction and a proposed start date around Sept. 28. Council members asked about downstream capacity near a nearby high-school soccer field and whether detention or additional drainage work might be coordinated; staff agreed to follow up on those capacity questions.
The resolution passed on a roll-call vote. The project manager said ductile-iron pipe materials will be staged on-site before work begins and nearby residents will be notified in advance.
