(KMZA)--The city of Seneca is moving forward with a sewer lagoon dredging project.
The Seneca City Council, when they meet Wednesday evening, accepted a bid from Reed Environmental, of Sheldon, Missouri, for a total of $619,000 for removal of the sludge from the city's three original sewer lagoons.
It was among two bids received.
City officials say the lagoons have become full of solid matter, leading to a loss of capacity.
Reed Environmental's bid estimated the removal of 11-million gallons of material.
Seneca City Administrator Tammi Haverkamp said the city can use $314,000 in federal coronavirus relief funds to pay for the project, with the remainder coming from reserves in the sewer fund.
The project is expected to start in the spring of 2022.
