Currently, lines are inadequate to carry loads, and may be required to carry flow from St. Simons Island in the near future. With the installation of these lines it will eliminate Lift Stations 15, 16, 18, and 19, therefore reducing associated maintenance costs. $4,650,000

15" GRAVITY SEWER-DIXVILLE

PUBLIC WORKS COMPLEX
