West Elmore sewer project can commence

Cliff Williams / TPI The route for the West Elmore Sewer Group’s forced main sewer line travels from Coosada Elementary School to Airport Road, along the Wetumpka Airport to Highway 14 and then to Elmore. It is said to benefit up to 40,000 Elmore County residents.

Construction of a forced sewer line from Millbrook through Coosada to Elmore will begin even as litigation surrounding the project continues.

Last month the Town of Coosada asked the courts for an injunction to stop the West Elmore Sewer Group project from being constructed in town limits without its permission. Elmore County contends the parts of the project within Coosada are on rights of way deeded to the county.
