Manhole Rehabilitation Project

Concord Township Sewer Department will be doing a manhole rehabilitation project which is anticipated to begin August 19th. The project involves a contractor working within the public rights-of-way and sewer easements. The project includes cleaning and application of a specialized coating to the inside of manholes to help protect and extend the life of the sewer system.


Project work will take place between the hours of 7:00 AM and 5:00 PM and each manhole should only take a few hours to complete. There will be road access at all times. The project should be completed within several weeks.
