The contractor was out this morning replacing some of the sanitary sewer manhole covers in those areas. By the end of the week the contractor will perform the oil and rock placement. The rock will remain in place for approximately one week and then they will come back and sweep up the excess. The mill and overlay projects will be moving forward until the end of September.
