ELKINS The newest phase of the city of Elkins’ sewer separation project has gotten off to “a little bit of a rocky start,” a city official said.
In last week’s Elkins City Council meeting, Operations Manager Bob Pingley gave an update on the project, which got underway Feb. 1.
“Phase II of the sewer separation project … got off to a little bit of a rocky start,” Pingley said. “It’s a very deep trench, with very poor soil in South Elkins.
“We had some problems with close proximity to water lines. But I think we’ve worked through these problems, and now that the weather’s improving that’s going to help us too,” he said.
