After three years, Caneyville’s wastewater plant updates are complete.

At the February 11 Caneyville City Commission meeting, Vern Shanklin, a representative of Kenvirons (a provider of civil and environmental services), announced that Caneyville’s wastewater plant project has been completed.

Caneyville City Clerk and Treasurer Brenda Brown said that while cleanup for the project is still being finished, the warranty for the plant is in effect as of November 9, 2012.

As part of the warranty, the contracter will be obligated to the building for twelve months, and prior to the expiration of the warranty, a final inspection will be completed.

Lincoln Trail Development is currently drawing up the final pay requests for the project, which will then be presented to the city for approval.

The project was designed to update the plant’s inflow and infiltration systems as well as perform maintenence.

Shanklin said he had informed the Division of Water of the project’s completion, as well.

Drawings will be sent to the city by the end of the week.
