City Council
Glenwood Ave Sewer Line Costs Soar After Spill
|
Replacing a corroded sewer line along along Glenwood Avenue will now cost more than $3.2 million, up by almost $730,000, after the line failed in late April. City council members voted Tuesday to approve the increase.
Workers began to replace sections of the line about six months ago, a task that was projected to cost around $2.5 million. The pipe was initially built with state of the art linings intended to prevent corrosion, but those began to fail, according to Robert Massengill, assistant director of public utilities.
