In Mr. Hanson’s discussions with Snowbird, the sewer line project of line replacement will take place after Labor Day. This delay is due to Snowbird summer activities.
Snowbird Center-Mr. Hanson recently met with contractors to discuss the best solutions for putting in a new grease trap at the Snowbird Center. This will directly tie into manhole 122. Mr. Hanson stated this will be in a better location for service and maintenance since it is located in the upper circle parking area.
