The City of Danville is looking to launch a targeted program to help areas that experience sanitary sewer overflows and backups in basements. City Engineer Sam Cole says the first area being addressed is basically north of English Street along Jackson – between Washington and Vermilion Streets and north to almost Roselawn Street….
The City Council’s Public Works Committee Tuesday night recommended the full council approve a professional services agreement for sewer and manhole design engineering for the area….
Cole says doing sewer linings and manhole improvements will be a lot more cost effective. He adds numerous areas of Danville have been identified that could benefit from this program. And if the city council approves this area, Cole says one or two additional areas could be brought before aldermen for action next month.
