Board Discussion
Chairman Johnson- With all the rain it has caused a lot of havoc in town.
Speaker- Superintendent Wilson- At the bottom of Limestone Ln., and Closen Rd., the bottom of the drain has rotted out. To have it lined, by P.J. Hoerr, to meet new EPA standards, it would cost between $12,000. - $15,000. It would also, take several loads of rock at the end of pipe. All together approximately $20,000. At 400 Maxwell Ct., 20 sq. ft. of collapsed pipe that goes through a yard has washed out. To replace all at 140 sq. ft. would be approximately $5,000. - $6,000., with black plastic pipe.
Closen Rd., is fairly deep at 7 ft. We would have to shut road off, for 1 week.
Trustee Merriman- Will we be able to tie into it.
