Bremen Lift Station Project Funding Guaranteed

The Bremen Town Council recently met with the Bremen Redevelopment Commission to discuss funding for the replacement or improvement of 16 lift stations in the wastewater system.

Bremen Director of Operations Trend Weldy said the redevelopment commission has guaranteed the funding for the project which is anticipated to cost between $900,000 to $1 million.

The lift stations are approximately 40 to 50 years old and need to be upgraded. Nine are located in the town’s jurisdiction while seven are in TIF areas.

Weldy commented that the final details have not been finalized but the town council wanted to be assured that the funding will be there when it comes to that point. With the assurance that the funding will be available, the town can move forward with the project.

The proposed project is set to get underway in 2018.
