Large machinery and piles of stone mean that another sewer project is underway in Ada.
A 36-inch storm sewer is being installed on campus near Heterick Library, McIntosh Center, and The Inn. A water retention basin will be dug south of The Inn. T
he project costs about $650,000 with the village paying for the engineering costs and testing. The university has agreed to pay for the rest. The current storm sewer is too small and is deteriorating due to age. Completion is set for Aug. 31.
