Trumbull County’s sanitary sewer extension project in Yankee Lake and Masury has moved into Yankee Lake.
Work started on the southern end of the project and the line running from Custer Orangeville Road to the previously existing line on Yankee Run Road has been put in. Officials are waiting for the line to be tested, said Trumbull County Sanitary Engineer Gary Newbrough.
Kirila Contractors Inc. of Brookfield has started installing line in the village and will move through the woods to Custer Orangeville Road. Kirila also has to build a pump station at the end of Brockway Avenue, but not all of the equipment needed for the pump station has been delivered, Newbrough said.
The project is supposed to be substantially complete by Oct. 11. “Because of that supply chain problem, getting the components for the pump station, we may have to extend that,” Newbrough said.
The sanitary engineer’s office also is discussing whether to allow property owners along Yankee Run, where the line has already been installed, to connect their homes to the line, he said. Property owners will receive letters when they are to tap in.
County commissioners recently approved two change orders with Kirila to address design changes and conditions found once they started digging. The change orders up the total contract value to $2,583,597.
