Environmental Services is designing a project to replace approximately 1600 feet of aging, large-diameter public sewer pipes along Duniway Park. Having provided over 100 years of service, the pipes require repairs to maintain reliable sewer service and protect public health and the environment. Construction is currently scheduled to begin late fall 2025 and will take about up to two and a half years to complete.
