They will receive more information on Lift Station 87 between Mound Street and Hudson Bayou. And they will be asked to embark on the rehabilitation of another lift station north of Fruitville Road. The city is rehabilitating its gravity-feed sewer system, and the latest project will install three new submerged pumps at Lift Station 40, at the southwest corner of Eighth Street and Shade Avenue. The $1 million project is expected to be awarded to TLC Diversiļ¬ed of Palmetto during the May 5 meeting.
