Case has awarded its Dire States Equipment Grant to Chapin, South Carolina, for the East Chapin Sewer Force Main Project. The grant provides the city with $25,000 in free equipment rental.
Workers will install a new parallel force main to relieve pressures on existing sewer force main and pump stations. The additional force main will reroute sewer flow, reducing the likelihood of future overflows that may affect drinking water. Bidding on the project will take place within the next few months. Construction will begin in late 2019.
“A primary consideration in selecting a winner for the Dire States Grant is the ability to build and positively affect numerous facets of a community’s infrastructure,” Michel Marchand, VP, said in a press release. “Chapin presented us with an underground utility and services project that will relieve stresses on current systems, protect water quality and public health in the region, and expand the capacities available to both residential and commercial interests for future growth.”
