Aeration option favored over costly MBR for Pecos sewer project
Ramon Carrasco of Kleinman Consultants outlined a plan to install a 24 inch sewer line from the Rodeo Grounds along Rancho Road with potential extension to south central and southwest Pecos. The $350000 design aims to pave the way for bidding and possible expansion while requiring TDOT approval for boring beneath U S 285 and storm drains. The current 16 inch fiberglass line will be replaced with a 24 inch PVC line and a 9 to 120 day construction window is being studied to cut bid prices.
