SEWAGE LINE WORK UPDATE AS OF 8/3/2016
This post is a follow-up from the post on Wednesday, July 20th.
We received correspondence from the Contractor for the City of Houston, DG Medina, late in the day on Wednesday, August 3rd. Per our request, they have provided documentation of a project plan for this existing scope of work. This is outlined below.
If you have any questions regarding this work, you may contact the City directly. The Project Manager with the City, Brian Campbell, can provide more detail. He can be reached at Brian.Campbell@houstontx.gov.
The scope is actually quite limited and does NOT include work on properties that do not currently have the new sanitary sewer in the street right-of-way in front of the property (which would run with the street). Before the City can perform any rerouting of services for these blocks, they would have to install sanitary sewer in the street and then follow with sanitary service rerouting (back to front). This work will be included in potential future projects, with the City prioritizing these against other wastewater system needs. As such, this work very clearly delineates what blocks/homes are included, which are listed below.
The document outlines the following, and is available for download here so that you can see the original. The below language is taken directly from this document.
