Manitowoc Moves Ahead With Sewage Study But No Grants Yet
City officials press ahead with a $450,000 study of the municipal sewer system led by American Pipe Services of Minneapolis. The plan, though lacking current grant funds, hopes for 80 percent state and federal support after completion to satisfy a DNR requirement to cut clear water in sewers by December 31, 1974. The project could begin July 9, run about a year, and involve TV inspections, dye tests, and rainfall simulations as part of prep work funded by a 1972 public works bond.
