This program was started a few years ago to address problem <br />areas where roots have grown into the sewer pipes and significantly reduced <br />their capacity. <br /> <br />Discussion: <br />This year’s program will include sanitary sewer mains located under the following <br />roadways: <br /> <br />ROADWAY FROM TO LENGTH <br />Knoll Drive Hillview Drive Lois Drive (w/ Lois Dr.) <br />Hillview Drive Knoll Drive Jackson Drive (w/ Lois Dr.) <br />Lois Drive Jackson Drive end 2745’ <br />Oakwoood Drive Jackson Drive Quincy Street 1325’ <br />Terrace Drive Jackson Drive Quincy Street 1180’ <br />Pinewood Drive Jackson Drive Quincy Street 1290’ <br />St. Stephen Street Co.
