Construction will begin on Monday, April 24th and is expected to be completed by mid-May, 2023.
Funding:

Purpose:
The two existing sanitary sewer manholes being replaced at this location have deteriorated from sewer gasses, which has allowed soils to enter into the structures creating settlement of the surrounding ground and bike trail.
The new manhole being installed will have an additional protective coating installed for a longer service life and the bike trail will be regraded.
