MOODY – At a regular meeting at Moody City Hall on Monday, Jan. 11, the city council authorized payment for an extensive sewer project and announced the location for a COVID-19 vaccination clinic.
The council heard from city attorney James Hill regarding an ongoing $700,000 sewer project being managed by Gusc to replace the main line through the city.
Lee said that the project is “half done” with an estimated completion date of three weeks from the date of the meeting.
“It’s a change from an eight-inch line to a twelve-inch line,” he said. “And it runs from the crossroads to ADESA. It’s the main line that supplies our plant and so it was a lot of infiltration in the line and we were using a lot of our capacity of water and so that’s why we decided to replace it.”
