The Town of Oak Grove Water/Sewer Department was awarded a $300,000 loan with 100% forgiveness from the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality to install Sewer Sentry manhole covers throughout the Town of Oak Grove.
Oak Grove Mayor Adam Holland announced the loan with a news release Friday.
“This is another great announcement for our community,” Holland said. “This will eliminate several hundred thousand gallons of water from getting into our sewer system during rain events, thus potentially eliminating issues with sewer backup problems during storms for many residents.”
The Sewer Sentry manhole cover system has been deployed in communities around the region that experience issues with storm water infiltration of the sewer system. The Sewer Sentry prevents sanitary sewer overflow problems by reducing inflow during rainstorms while reducing the system's exposure to corrosive gases.
