The ongoing wastewater treatment project undertaken by the city to update its system will result in 1500 S remaining closed other than to some local traffic where it intersects Old Highway 191.

Engineers are boring under the railroad tracks and county highway in order to take the pipeline from the lift station at the location of the old lagoons up to the new lagoons farther east.

City Superintendent Tyler Webster believes that the project should not take much more than a week.  “After the boring, and the line is in, we’ll seal it and then asphalt it.”  After the initial boring is done, 1500 S will be reopened, though it will be closed again later in order to be sealed and asphalted.  It is hoped that Old Highway 191 will not need to be closed.
