City of Harlan will begin sanitary sewer project

SHELBY COUNTY — The City of Harlan has contracted with Municipal Pipe Tool Company to complete sanitary sewer main lining and point repairs this fall.  
City Administrator Gene Gettys said the $1.1 million dollar project is made possible due to a $500,000 CDBG award and use of ARPA funding. The sanitary sewer transports sewage from sinks, bathrooms, kitchens, floor drains, and other plumbing to the city wastewater treatment plant; it is separate from storm sewers, which transport stormwater.
The project will consist of two phases,  with the first phase beginning this week as the contractor completes cleaning and televising of the sanitary mains. The second phase is expected to begin in November, and will consist of cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) sanitary sewer lining.
The total amount of sewer line set to be repaired is approximately four miles.
 Gettys said the areas of work for the project  based on results following previous sanitary sewer pipe cleaning and televised inspections, and the repairs are necessary to ensure the sanitary sewer mains are in good working condition and operate as designed. Repairs will include cured-in-place-pipe (CIPP) for pipe sections that are broken or cracked and point repairs in four areas.
What residents can expect:
These sanitary sewer mains may be located in the street, front yards, and back yards. These are located in easements, which allow the city access to do necessary work.
This work will not impact the use of the city’s main sanitary sewer. Municipal Pipe Tool Company will notify residents with door-to-door posted notices.
Residents are asked to keep pets indoors or on a leash away from manholes while crews are working. If manholes are located in the middle of the street, drivers may need to take an alternate route during manhole repairs, and any traffic interruption will be temporary.
