the city of Senoia will put out a bid proposal for the second and final

phase of its sewer system.

City administrator

Murray McAfee said the city has obtained all but four of the easements

needed for the system.

If the city

needs to go through condemnation procedures to get the final easements,

McAfee said the process would be completed in time to bid the project

in November.

The city is

getting ready to embark on building phase two of its municipal sewer system.

The price tag for the project is pegged at $6.1 million.

The phase will

complete sewer connections in the heart of the east Coweta city, starting

with Main Street, McAfee said.

Of course,

there are some areas that receive priority, such as the Martinwood subdivision.

"That

will definitely be high on the list," he said.

The city is

building the project with a combination of loans and grants. Rural Development

of Georgia is loaning the city nearly $3.5 million.

The city had

hoped to start construction in June, but McAfee said construction should

start in early 2003 and completed in 2004.

Sewer in the

city has been discussed for more than a decade and McAfee is relieved

to see the project almost ready for construction.
