Athens Interceptor Sewer Replacement

Location: Athens, West Virginia

System Improvements: The existing system was replaced with 8,000 linear feet of 8, 10 and 12 inch pipe and 42 precast concrete manholes with watertight covers. Work included stream crossings, highway crossings, and work in streets.

Construction Cost:  $525,000
