Humboldt Sewer Repair Update: Jan. 24

Environmental Services continues a project to repair or replace 17,000 feet (more than three miles) of public sewer pipes in the Humboldt neighborhood that are (on average) 85 years old and in deteriorating condition. This project will protect public health and our environment by reducing the possibility of sewage releases to homes, businesses and streets.
