Forest Park sewer and storm sewer projects revived at city hearing
About 25 residents attended a special Board of Local Improvements session in City Hall. A $1 million Forest Park sewer and water project was approved for hearings on July 22 for the northwest side storm sewer work, affecting roughly 65 percent of Forest Park. The Northwest project carries an estimated $1,050,000 with the city funding 25 percent. Owners of various lot sizes face payments over 10 years, while disputes over costs and engineer qualifications drew some audience questions.
