Sewer Selection Committee Appoints Engineering Firm for Feasibility Study BY MELISSA BUCHANAN The Sewer Selection Committee has selected SEC-Inc. out of Murfreesboro, TN to move forward with a sewer feasibility study of Eagleville. "We will evaluate 3 different systems and will give a cost analysis on each of the 3, as well as look into expansion capabilities for each of the 3," explained Mark Lee, Engineer and President of SEC-Inc. The three systems that will be looked into are the membrane bioreactor, bio nutrient removal, and a stage-2 lagoon with wetlands. Lee anticipates the feasibility study to be complete within the next couple of months. "We are going into this with what the city of Eagleville can afford, but something they can expand in the future," he said. In addition to what each project would cost, the cost analysis will also determine the amount(s) of a residential sewer bill. "It’s quite possible the city of Eagleville could build a new system, then switch over to another process in the future," explained Lee, referring to an existing discharge permit held by Eagleville School. SEC-Inc. will also be looking into additional funding sources for the city’s sewer project, grants and other private and governmental entities. |
