MORE COLLECTION SYSTEM CAPACITY INCREASES

Low bidder Hemphill Construction ($6.4 million) has begun the next phase of sewer force (pressurized)  main upgrades to increase sizes of pipes along parts of Section Street and Twin Beech Road, leading to the treatment plant north of city hall.

North Section Street in the vicinity of Bayou will be closed first, for about 6 weeks -- then the project will shift to the S. Section Street and the Twin Beech Road area.

Kimley Horn is the project's engineer. 

City's statement: "The Section Street Force Main Project is a major upgrade to Fairhope’s sewer infrastructure, designed to improve flow capacity and reduce the risk of future backups. Construction will take place until August 11, with intermittent road closures between North Section Street and Twin Beech Road. This investment is part of our broader commitment to reliable, long-term service — in fact, Fairhope has invested $44 million this year in water and wastewater improvements across the city."

Hopefully there will be some police presence to slow down the detour traffic speeders.
