The Bremen Town Council agreed to move ahead on the project to upgrade the town’s lift stations in the spring 2018.
The plan and design phase is the next step. The council members took action to get that paperwork started this week with the hopes of bidding out the project in November or December. A bid could be awarded in January.
According to Bremen Director of Operations Trend Weldy, the Bremen Redevelopment Commission previously guaranteed the funds for the lift station project. The anticipated cost is around $1 million to $1.5 million.
Sixteen lift stations are in desperate need of updating. They are approximately 40 to 50 years old. Nine of those lift stations are located in the town’s jurisdiction while 7 are in the TIF areas.
