(KLZA)-- The Auburn Board of Public Works has agreed to have General Manager Dave Hunter attempt to get state revolving funds for a sewer lining project in Auburn. The project is already underway and is part of a 10-year plan to do more than 8,700 feet of sewer main lining and and make repairs to 36 manholes. Under the 10-year plan, the Auburn BPW has budgeted $50-thousand annually to complete the work. Hunter told the Board that if the state revolving funds could be secured, they could do the project in one year and potentially save $100-thousand. An engineer is required to qualify for the funding. The Auburn BPW will request cost estimates from JEO Engineers. Hunter also informed Board members during their April meeting that core drilling has begun on the Peru Water Line Project. A pipe supplier has been located and work is continuing on securing easements for the line.
