FEBRUARY 21, 2022 UPDATE:  PHASE 1 AND PHASE 2 ARE COMPLETE!

Commissioner Richard Cariello, who is overseeing the project, was interviewed by ABC Action News.  Here is a link to the video of the interview: ABC Action News Story of Storm Drain Project

 On Monday, August 23, 2021, Seminole Septic began Phases 1 and 2 of the 4 phase storm drain system project.  Phase 1 will remove the soft sediment from the Town’s stormwater pipes.  As each pipe is cleaned, a video is made by sending a scope into the pipe to inspect its condition and map its location.  Phases 1 and 2 are expected to be completed by January 2022.
