Cliff Williams / The Outlook A new sewer lines along U.S. Highway 280 to the Kellyton Industrial Park is closer to starting with a bid opening next month.

The cost to install a sewer line from the industrial park in Kellyton to the Sugar Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant in Alexander City will be known within two weeks. If supply chain issues and the weather cooperate, the new sewer line will be operational in just over a year.

More than 10 contractors gathered Thursday for a mandatory pre-bid meeting with Jacobs, the engineering firm designing the project for Alexander City. Alex Houston with Jacobs gave would-be bidders an overview of the project and to answer questions.
