<div class="content"><span style="padding-left: 50px;">(COLUMBIA, MO)</span> - <p style="display:inline;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The City of Columbia Sewer Utility is holding an interested parties meeting Wednesday, Dec. 4, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m., in Conference Room 1C of City Hall, 701 E. Broadway, to discuss the upcoming private common collector elimination (PCCE) 21 sewer project located near Stanford Drive. The proposed plan will be available for public review and City staff will be present to answer questions.</span></p>
<br />
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The purpose of this meeting is to present the revised plan for disconnecting properties from the private common collector in the area, constructing a new public sewer and connecting these property laterals into the new system. Construction is anticipated to take place in the next three to five years and is estimated at $110,000. In accordance with Section 22-253 of City code, financing for this project will be through Sewer Utility Private Common Collector Elimination funds. </span></p>
<br />
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Private common collectors are major sources of inflow and infiltration of stormwater into the sewer system. By replacing the outdated, private sewer and connecting these properties into the publicly maintained sewer, the City can reduce the occurrence of backups and overflows.</span></p></div>
