The City of Richwood is preparing for a long anticipated project. There will be a sewer rehabilitation effort initiated in the coming months. The task will consist of a $3.4 million dollar pump station, sewer tie-ins and restructuring of the larger main. The chief factor in decision making for this enhancement is to prevent an estimated 7 million gallons of sanitary sewer overflows yearly. Currently, engineers are assessing the planned improvements and will compile information and gather data to begin construction, not later than a year from now, if not sooner. The City is optimistic for the future of economic growth and development within the community; which will be facilitated with these necessary upgrades to the sewer main. This project is also intended to free up much needed capacity in the sewer main while governing health hazards and environmental concerns.
