ROCHELLE — Rochelle City Council voted to reject all bids submitted for a major sanitary sewer project and instead will rebid the project to incorporate a more affordable technique.
Adam Lanning, Supt. of Water/Water Reclamation, addressed council Monday evening to explain there is a less expensive option to line the 4,000 feet of sanitary sewer in the Meadowbrook area. This includes Sunnymeade, Springdale, part of Fairview, and Short Court.
The city had been awarded a development block grant from the Ill. Dept. of Commerce and Economic Opportunity for nearly $285,000 based on back ups occurring in basements, along with income levels and bypass pumping amounts.
