constructed in 1959-60 needs to be replaced with a larger main in order to properly serve
a new five -story girls dormitory to be constructed at the corner of Douglas and Lindell.
Estimated cost for this project is $4,0000000
The above mains are a part of our old system and need urgent corrective measures. Item
No. 3 was initially in the larger sewer improvement program, but was.deleted because of
problems'involved in right-of-way and construction costs.
Substantially most all of the original work planned in the large sewer program of 1959-
1960 was constructed and additional work was added. One lateral which was planned and
never constructed because of right-of-way difficulties was from Maple Street between Oliver
and Gray Streets north about 400 feet in rear of houses facing on Gray Street.
Estimated cost of this project is $1,500.00, providing rights-of-way can be secured.
