Gallatin utilities crews began boring operations on September 10 for the city's new Cumberland River raw water intake project. A specialty boring contractor started tunneling approximately 36 feet beneath the river bluff to connect the new intake structure with the water treatment plant.
Project Details
The initiative includes a new 50-foot-deep concrete-lined wet well, intake screens, pumps, piping, valves, and new electrical and mechanical systems. City officials stated that the new intake will provide substantially greater raw-water withdrawal capability, strengthening the water system and improving reliability.
Construction on this infrastructure project, with a prior contract valued at over $17 million, continues to advance. No specific details on professional opportunities or job creation were reported in available sources for activities during this period.
Other proposed developments, such as aspects of Project Phoenix involving a new city hall, remained in review without confirmed construction milestones in the timeframe.
