Prankster's Sign Causing Confusion

Posted by Publisher on

Fairhope, Alabama 

 

"Fake" sign on CR 13

 

MANY INQUIRIES

A sign erected by the property owner where material for a sewer pipe expansion project is being stored is causing angst for citizens passing by. 

The material is actually to be used for a sewer pipe enlargement project under CR 13, to begin later in the year, not a new treatment plant. 

The pipeline project will begin at Fairhope Avenue, north down CR 13 to Hwy 104, then east to Hwy 181 -- to service the many new homes and businesses being constructed there.

The city's existing treatment plant in the gully near city hall is currently at about 65% capacity.

It would be a good spot for the new sewer plant . The current pant fails when it rains .

Did the property owner do this just to mess with people or is he/she upset about something?

It is a thought-provoking “prank”.
The 65% capacity will not last long with the rampant growth. The huge apartment complex on Twin Beech and the old timer’s home on Volanta/Greeno will raise it up considerably!
There must be a plan to put a new plant somewhere…..

There were discussions about a new treatment plant south of the airport at one time; but it was decided to enlarge the existing one instead (2011). Also, a series of smaller treatment plants around town was being talked about as an alternative ... circa 2016-2020. A decision will have to be made by the mayor/city council ... in the next 5-10 years, just how to proceed. As we understand the current situation .... .

This is not a good place for a treatment plant. Put them in middle of sub divisions where the new growth is over bearing current facilities.
