Sewage Lift Station Repair Begins

Fairhope, Alabama






Work is beginning on replacement of the 41-year-old Fels sewage lift station on Mobile Street (at the foot of Fels Avenue).  This station is critical for collecting and conveying sewage from the southwest part of town over the hill to the treatment plant.

The old pump and underground tank will be dug out and replaced with new ones slightly closer to the street; the sidewalk will be re-located on the west side.

Cunningham Delaney Construction was the low bidder at $561,500; the tank and other new components had to be specially-made.

This is the first of several sewage collection system improvements this year and next.

It's shocking to see that our prior Mayors and City Council members have neglected this for so long. Surely they will point a finger and Mayor Wilson who has tried so hard to get the Council to fund these emergency improvements. Thank you to Mayor Wilson for fighting to keep utility funds for utility infrastructure!
