Town considers sewer study

The Times-Union - 7/17

SYRACUSE – If approved, it will cost $24,400 for a South Bend engineering firm to draw up a Long Drive Sewer Master Plan.

Town manager Brian Redshaw submitted a proposal for the master plan to the town council Tuesday night.

The plan addresses drainage concerns in an area around the new Community Center bordered by Ind. 13 on the west, Washington Street on the south, Long Drive on the east and County Line Road on the north.

The plan would be drawn up by Greeley and Hansen, LLC. The town council took the proposal under advisement.

The goal is to determine the most cost-effective alternative for collecting storm runoff along Ind. 13 and Long Drive.

Greeley and Hansen would:

• Prepare a project plan and manage the project.

• Collect local contour data, outline the watershed and calculate the amount of runoff.

• Develop a storm sewer master plan for the area that will show recommended runoff routing along Ind. 13 and Long Drive.

• Recommend physical treatment methods to enhance storm water runoff quality before transport to Syracuse Lake.

• Provide a cost-of-service study.

• Prepare a report summarizing the cost of the project.

Redshaw said there are funds available in the cumulative storm sewer fund to pay for the study.
