VALLEY/MIDDLE  STREETS

Work has begun to improve the problematic Valley Street sewage lift station where numerous sewage overflows have occurred over the years during heavy rain events.

The old pump station building has been demolished -- and the "wet well" below is being re-lined to prevents leaks; the above ground pump that was housed in the old building will be replaced with a new submersible one underground in the well.

New electrical service is being installed as well.

Temporary pumps are in place to handle sewage flow during construction.

WR Mitchel was the low bidder on the contract: $247K.

Not sure but I was wondering why you think the wastewater plant has an issue. My understanding is that the plant is a 50% capacity and with all the improvements happening throughout the system, other other than some normal maintenance and a few upgrades everything is running fine.

It makes more sense to me to stop pumping sewage toward the Bay. A new plant on the east side of town would serve all of the new subdivisions while pumping away from the water.
