City sewer work started
The City of Whitefish has begun a five
to six week project to replace or rehabilitate underground sewer
mains throughout the city.
In some cases the sewer main is being
dug up and replace. This is being done on Woodland Place west of
Wisconsin Avenue.
While in others, the city will use a
Cured in Place Process or CIPP in which a resin liner is fed into
the sewer main through a manhole and then heated and adhered to the
underground pipe to seal out leaks without have to dig it up. The
CIPP projects began Monday and will be done in various locations
throughout the city over the next four weeks.
City crews will place an information
door hanger in advance of work in neighborhoods where the work will
take place. In some cases, the work may temporarily affect sewer
usage.
