Important sewer project completed in Gary

A critical infrastructure project has been completed in Gary, improving the city’s sewer system.

Gary Mayor Eddie Melton, First District Congressman Frank Mrvan and members of the U.S Army Corps of Engineers held a ribbon cutting ceremony this morning.

The ceremony marked the completion of the Calumet Region Gary Sanitary District Force Main Replacement Phase II Project.

The project replaced a main sewer line that was deteriorating and undersized.

It was part of the Calumet Region Environmental Infrastructure 219 Project in which $2.6M of federal funding has been allocated.
