Still time to submit artwork for the 2026 Commemorative Calendar!
Wastewater Wednesdays | Progress Update
Work across the plant continues to move forward. This week, all yard piping is receiving a fresh coat of epoxy paint to help protect the system for the long term and enhance the overall appearance of the facility. Final electrical work is also nearing completion, with the last duct bank, wire pulls, and the primary power transformer now installed on site.
The conveyance system is advancing in the downtown area as well. The contractor is currently installing the 16-inch PVC force main between 2nd Street and the utility bridge over Moore’s Creek. Please be mindful of ongoing road closures in this area, including AE Backus Avenue between Indian River Drive and 2nd Street, the intersection of 2nd Street and AE Backus Avenue, and Avenue B just west of N US 1.
