The city says that they will be working on lining sewer lines this year, to avoid having to rip up streets.

The city’s manager of Engineering, Stan Nowakowski says that couldn’t be done for this stretch though.

“This particular area, we’re anticipating to do sewer lining later on this year. So this is a spot repair that we’re going to do in a short section that needs to be replaced. That couldn’t be lined.” He said.

Sidewalk and businesses will remain open will full water and services.
