Davenport assesses sewer-collapse problems
September 11, 2009
The new public-works director in Davenport, Iowa, is promising to
issue a plan by Thanksgiving to deal with more than 100 collapsed segments of sewer across the city. The repairs are expected to cost more than $100,000,000, and that's simply beyond the reach of the city's
$155,000,000 annual budget. Repairing the existing sewers could be a
20-year project.
We help communities in Iowa and Nebraska with
water-control gates for sewer systems, as well as
wet-gas hydrogen sulfide monitors for measuring toxic gases in and around sewer lines. Please feel free to
contact us with your questions.
