Hickory Hill sewer improvement project

We would like to thank everyone who joined us May 2 at our public meeting to discuss a proposed sewer improvement project near Hickory Hill Drive and Sunset Drive.

The Sewer Utility is proposing to replace the privately maintained sewer system for homeowners near Hickory Hill Drive and Sunset Drive. The Utility will construct a public sanitary sewer to serve these customers.

These proposed improvements are part of the Utility’s Private Common Collector Elimination project, started in 2008. Private common collectors are major sources of inflow and infiltration of stormwater into the sewer system. By replacing the outdated, private sewers and connecting these properties into the publicly maintained sewer, the City can reduce the occurrence of backups and overflows.

Anyone interested in the project can ask questions or leave comments on this page through May 16.
