This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to execute a contract with United Survey, Inc., for the construction of the Torrence/Colerain Area Sanitary Improvements Project. This project will rehabilitate approximately 21,093 lineal feet of eight to 21-inch diameter sanitary sewer lines serving homes within the project area that is located in the Clintonville Community.
