171 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 3, ISSUE 3 Over the past five years, the city has worked with Insituform to perform a process called pipe bursting. “They pull in a new bigger pipe through those old clay pipes. It’s continuous from manhole to manhole, so there’s no going through roots and things. They’ve been working with us for a pretty good price and done a really good job,” says Lemin. “In our oldest area, where we had the most wastewater problems, all the sewer lines have been replaced. Insituform has been a good partner, helping us take care of years of infrastructure problems. We can now focus our dollars on expanding the business park’s infrastructure.” Mayor Echterling adds, “The completion of that project has also accelerated the number of repairs we’re able to perform. It’s opened-up some different areas for future growth too.” There are many valuable players contributing to the community’s progress.
