Beach considers using sewer savings for extensions
Old Orchard Beach officials saved about 100000 by using well point drilling and trench boxes on the East Grand Avenue sewer project instead of full wood sheathing. Conrad Burnier of E C Jordan proposes using the savings to extend sewer service to Surfside Avenue North and Surfside South Seabreeze and Ladd Avenues, with estimated costs of 40000 and 29000 respectively. The council will decide whether another company can perform the extensions more cheaply.
