Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The existing sanitary sewer on Parkdale Avenue between Bancroft Street and Woodruff Avenue has broken, causing a blockage. The Division of Sewer and Drainage is currently maintaining bypass pumps to ensure sanitary service for the residents. Due to the depth of the excavation and the numerous repairs that have been previously made to this sewer, the Division of Engineering Services was called in to work with a contractor to replace this section of sewer. Edward Kelly and Sons was hired to perform the sewer work. Sufficient funds are available within the Sewer Replacement Fund to pay for this emergency sewer replacement.
