Improvements to sewers in Washington are underway. The City of Washington’s 2019 sewer project has begun. The $1.2 million project is half funded by a federal Community Development Block Grant. Work includes excavation, point repairs of failed pipe segments, cured-in-place lining of pipe segments, and repairing manholes. This work is being done throughout the eastern part of town. Work is expected to go through the beginning of October. No street closures are anticipated, but residents may see construction signs and contractor vehicles in the area.
