The scope of work will include rehabilitation of the existing sewer lift station at the Town?s sewer lagoon by replacing existing discharge piping, pump rails, appurtenances, and by installing a protective coating on the existing concrete wet well. The project will also include replacement of the Meadowlark lift station and portions of the accompanying South Street sewer force main.
