North Levee access drive construction
Summary
The city is spending $218,243.75 more on the North Levee project to build a stone access road so crews can reach four pump stations — even for maintenance as simple as pulling pumps. One board member initially thought it was a waste but changed his mind after a backhoe got stuck trying to reach a lift station.
