The City is again saying out with the old with a $3 Million project to abandon an over 100-year-old sanitary sewer line in the Cork Hill/LeClaire Heights Park area. Predating some of the homes in the area, portions of the sewer have long lurked 40 to 80 FT below the surface. Over time improvements have taken laterals off of the system. This project will abandon the old and install a new line to improve the overall system.
The project will initially close Farnam between 11th and 12th Streets and Cork Hill Park on Tuesday, May 30. This initial phase will close the park for approximately one month. Zigzagging through the neighborhood, this rather complex sewer project will be phased and include trenched and trenchless sewer installation, stormwater, and pavement improvements.
In total, the project will install nearly 2,000 lineal feet of new sewer line and is estimated to be complete in early 2024. Intermittent road closures are to be expected as the project progresses.
