The 10-inch sewer pipe failed in early April, City Engineer David Kasper said in an April 25 letter to Public Works Director Elaine Lutringer.
This project will cost $47,245, according to the letter, with funds sourced from the city’s enterprise fund reserves. A timeline for the work has not been announced.
Zooming out
These repairs come eight months after the city opted to perform surface repairs instead of a full rehabilitation of a cracked sanitary sewer trunk main that routes from the city’s wastewater treatment plant located at 25839 I-10 to Pin Oak Road.
The wastewater treatment plant is less than a mile from the location of the emergency repairs at First Street and Avenue D.
