Several years and $4.7 million later the Corder Park sewer pump system upgrade is almost finished.
The mammoth infrastructure project will play a vital role in ensuring the future security of Nelson’s sewage management system.
Works and Infrastructure Committee Chair Eric Davy says he is grateful for community cooperation during the upgrade.
“I would like to take this opportunity to thank the community for their patience with the inconvenience that was caused at times during construction. I would also like to acknowledge the contractors for their efforts to keep that disruption to a minimum.”
While work on infrastructure is seldom pretty and often not high profile it provides the foundation of a city and Eric says it’s good to reflect on how much is happening.
