City Begins Sewage Rehabilitation Project
Hattiesburg, Miss- The City of Hattiesburg has recently begun construction on the 592 Sewage Rehabilitation Project. This will be a project completed in three phases- East Project, West Project, and the North Lagoon Project. Funding has been provided by the United States Army Corp of Engineers through a 75/25 percent match grant. The City’s twenty-five percent match will be provided by sewer bonds which were passed in 2009.
The East and West Phase of the project will target old sewer lines in residential areas, replacing them with new lines. This project will end by asphalt repair to the streets where the sewer lines were replaced. Construction on the East Project totaled $2 million and is expected to be completed by the spring of 2012. Construction on the West Project total estimated cost is $1.5 million and is expected to be bid out by late summer of 2011.
The North Lagoon Project will be an estimated $2 million expansion project. The plans to double the capacity of the lagoon are currently being reviewed by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality. The project is expected to go out for bid by summer of 2011.
The following streets will be affected by the East Project construction:
