Newton, Iowa, advances sanitary sewer rehabilitation project
(UI) — Newton City Council has given the green light to a substantial project aimed at rehabilitating the city's sanitary sewer infrastructure, Newton News reported.
Awarded to a contractor based in Perry, the project entails the installation of cast in place pipe (CIPP) lining, covering over 6,000 feet of sewer mains along with necessary service reinstatements and end seals across three key areas.
Identified through video camera inspections, sections of the city's sewer mains were found to be in dire need of repair, particularly in areas affected by groundwater infiltration or obstructed flow due to tree roots.
The proposed lining method offers an efficient solution without the need for disruptive street excavation, ensuring the integrity of the system while preventing sewage leakage into the environment and groundwater intrusion into the sewer network.
AccuJet LLC secured the contract with a bid of $253,484 slightly under the engineer's estimate of $258,363. The project, financed through Water Pollution Control Funds, is slated for completion by December 31. Competing bids were submitted by Insituform Technologies ($254,340), Municipal Pipe ($260,651), and Hydro-Klean ($262,424).
