Cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) is being used for the repairs, which is under way on an approximately 2 mile segment of the sewer, which is located on the south side of Highway 169 between County Road 15 on the west, and Eagle Creek Blvd on the east. The majority of this segment of the sewer is in the Highway 169 right-of-way.

Lametti & Sons was awarded the contract for this project and is using CIPP to minimise the inconvenience to the public.

The old, damaged pipe is not actually removed, so digging is confined to the locations of 34 manholes that also are being replaced. This repair method minimises damage to road surfaces, results in minimised tree loss, and limits disturbance to nearby landscaping.

The sewer repair will continue to progress to the east, ending at Highway 169 and Eagle Creek Blvd. in late 2011. Repair of the section of sewer that crosses under Townline Avenue will be scheduled for sometime this fall.
