Sewer Obstacle Report Delays City Sewer Project
Paul J. Kleiser, city sewer engineer, told the Kiwanis Club how funds and land procurement obstacles stalled Terre Haute’s sewage disposal plan. He cited $100,000 used to repair Hulman Street after an explosion, lack of optioned land for the plant, exhausted federal funds, limited state funds, and an order halt on pollution. He noted site acquisition is the next critical step as May or Ralph Tucker’s administration studies state pollution directives.
