The Lincoln Storm Sewer Project is designed to support the development of a new drinking water production well at the end of Churchill Row. Well testing will occur in late June/early July, which will see the installation of a small gravel pad to support a large well drilling truck. Alongside the storm sewer installation, an electrical conduit will be added to provide emergency backup power from a generator at another well. The project also includes a sanitary sewer installation from the well site to a connection point at the end of Churchill Row.
The storm and sanitary sewers will be installed during the summer months to facilitate the development of the new well.
