The Mitchell City Council will consider approving an agreement at the 6 p.m. meeting on Monday that would call for an industrial cleaning company to improve a lift station.
According to City Engineer Joe Schroeder’s memo to the council agenda, the city is recommending to contract Hydro-Klean, of Sioux Falls, to complete the $90,400 improvement project to the North Foster lift station. The council will vote on the agreement during its regular scheduled meeting at City Hall.
Schroeder’s documents state the existing wet well is roughly 10 years old, and adding a new lining to the manhole in the lift station will extend the life of the structure. In addition, lining the manhole will reduce damage to the concrete that is caused by toxic gases.
According to Schroeder, the wet well will be installed with PVC liners. The city is providing a gravel base course for street crossings where temporary bypass pumping pipe crosses side streets, Schroeder wrote.
For the timeline of the project, Schroeder stated the work is scheduled to be completed in 2020.
