The Neighborhood Storm Sewer Improvements - Phase 3 project will construct public sewer improvements to enable residents to connect private drainage improvements that would otherwise have been cost prohibitive. In every case, the improvements will help alleviate a flooding issue that adversely affects a homeowner’s structure, multiple adjacent properties, or the public right-of-way. Bids for the "Neighborhood Storm Sewer Improvements - Phase 3" project were duly advertised and publicly opened.
