City staff: Rogers sewage project to begin April 6 with roughly 180-day schedule

City public-works staff provided a construction update on the Rogers sewage project, saying the city held a pre-construction meeting and coordinated with the county commissioner’s office.

Mr. Madden told the council the contractor is scheduled to begin work on April 6 and that the contract gives 180 days for completion; he said he believed the job would be complete by Oct. 2 but qualified that as his understanding. He added that materials have been ordered, contractors are on hand, and tree cutting is planned to start April 6.

Mr. Madden said coordination has included a meeting at the county commissioner’s office and that the city expects to move forward promptly; he expressed optimism that the work will not take the full contract period. The record does not specify contract value, funding sources or which county office issued approvals.
