As the City of Lexington continues to move along sanitary sewer improvement work, some projects are more visible to the eye. And sometimes, it’s in the eye of the driver. Currently, a project along Greentree Road means digging up some of the roadway. Water Quality Division Director Charlie Martin said it involves replacing a pipe with a bigger pipe. He said the work will also increase reliability to individual houses.
“But at the end of the day each one of the households that are there now with all this disruption will have a new sewer lateral leading to the edge of their property with a cleanout that they didn’t have before. That will help long-term operation and maintenance of the system,” said Martin.
