As with other public improvements, the sewer system is aging and must be <br /> repaired and maintained to assure the city gets the full life from the system prior to <br /> replacement. With this project, plastic liners will be inserted into the sewer lines to seal <br /> cracks and prevent groundwater from entering the sewer system. Eliminating groundwater <br /> from the sanitary sewer system frees the system's capacity for its intended use of <br /> wastewater collection, and it also reduces the load on the regional sewage treatment plant. <br /> This..,year, the repair work involves approximately 5,000 lineal feet of sewer line in <br /> three areas: in the alley between Tyler and Polk streets from 24th to 26th avenues; in the <br /> alley betty ~ en 19th and 20th avenues from Pearl to Willamette streets; and in various <br /> locations between Lawrence and Polk streets from 20th to 26th avenues. Approximately <br /> 120 properties are served by the sewers scheduled to be repaired or rehabilitated. <br /> (more) <br /> <br />
