Tallassee sewage treatment project needs more funding

For the last several years the Tallassee City Council has been attempting to address issues and a consent decree with its sewage treatment lagoons.

The city’s wastewater treatment program has been in a redesign for several years to rectify issues of chlorination and projected needs. Since bids were coming in nearly $15 million over budget, engineers at CDG have been working to come up with a cost effective solution — fix what is already there to stay within an approximate budget of $3.5 million.
