Sewage System Expansion Set To Continue

Fairhope, Alabama 

Update: The city council subsequently approved hiring the engineer for the project.

 

S. Hwy 181


Laurelbrook


NEW 16 INCH SOUTHSIDE PIPE

During Monday's meeting, the city council will consider hiring Kimey Horn to do engineering for a new 16-inch diameter sewer main and two new lift stations along Highway 181 south of town, where several new neighborhoods (or neighborhood expansions) are under construction or already approved (in areas now under Baldwin County's Planning and Zoning jurisdiction).

The new pipe will begin at the Laurelbrook neighborhood south of CR 32 and extend all the way north to CR 48, Fairhope Avenue.

Engineering cost not-to-exceed $1.5 million; estimated project construction cost $15 million (NTE).

This will be a force main (under pressure).

MORATORIUM STILL IN EFFECT

A moratorium on approval of city sewer service for any NEW projects outside city limits is still in effect, indefinitely.



New 16 inch pipe plan.

Resolution.

Is this sewage to be pumped all the way up to the treatment plant just north of downtown Fairhope? Is there only one treatment plant for Fairhope?

An updated engineering study is being competed now. One option to be offered is expected to be a new treatment plant south of town. Cost will be one of the factors for the city council to consider.

Why is the city still expanding the sewer lines

How about EAST of town, where all the growth is?

Just let the private sewer service company handle it.

It does not make sense the bigger pipe would be out there at th end of the system.
