<br />The sewer system improvements will include approximately 1,500 linear feet of new 10-
<br />inch polyvinyl chloride sewer main, sewer laterals, sewer maintenance holes, asphalt
<br />concrete pavement, striping, and concrete driveway approaches. Once completed, these
<br />improvements will eliminate sewer main obstructions, reduce sewer maintenance
<br />requirements, enhance sewer flows, and prevent sewer system overflows. In addition,
<br />the improvements will enhance ride quality on these streets and surface drainage.
