Background and Discussion:

The scope of project includes sanitary sewer lines, manholes, a lift station, a force main, connections to properties, and abandonment of septic systems. Construction of a new sanitary sewer system to serve Westfield Estates including service connections to eligible residents. Project brings a public sewer system to an area where residents use septic systems, many of which are failing and can contaminate roadside ditches and public waterways.

 

To accommodate the electric service to the proposed work CenterPoint has to install 277/480V service, pole and (3) 50KVA transformers on ROW.

 

Expected Impact:

Connect residential properties to the newly installed sanitary sewer system and abandon septic systems to minimize bacteria in the environment.

 

Alternative Options:

If no action is taken, Continue the use of aging septic systems that are prone to failure.
