The project includes: replacement of 4 sanitary sewer manholes, installation of approximately 1,100 feet of 12" PVC sanitary sewer pipe, reconnection of 37 sewer services, paved surface restoration, new sidewalk across alley approaches, curb and gutter reconstruction, and new concrete alley approaches.
