Lakota to hold public meeting

The city of Lakota will hold a public information meeting at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, May 7, at the Lakota Eagle Center regarding the wastewater treatment project, which has been bid. Construction will start later this summer.

The project engineer, city council members and the mayor will attend this meeting.

The first part of the meeting will be to show what improvements are planned and how they will affect property owners yards. This is an underground project that will disrupt daily activity in town while construction is taking place.

The public is encouraged to attend and ask questions, as the engineer will be there to answer them.

The main contractor on the project will not be allowed to enter houses so this electrical connection point for the new pump being installed must already be on the outside of the house.

It is the responsibility of the owner to provide for this electrical connection.

USDA-RD has a program that allows seniors and those that meet income requirements to take advantage of financing and grant opportunities to help pay for the electrical disconnect installation.

It is recommended that property owners contact an electrician to get an estimate for the work.

The electrician should be asked to perform the following:

Installation of exterior rated electrical disconnect box on the outside of the house near the existing septic system or where the sewer exits the building.
