• • <br />CITY OF LA PORTE <br />INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Jerry L. Hodge, Director of Public Works DATE: July 9, 1985 <br />FROM: Luther Maxey, Assi aj~Public Works Director <br />SUBJECT: Lift Station #6 on South 8th Street <br />Due to an excessive depth of over 24 feet, McKey Construction was called <br />in on an emergency basis to assist the Wastewater Department in the repair <br />of Lift Station #6. After excavation the problem was determined to be <br />that the original builder had not set the wet well tube properly on the <br />concrete slab base. The tube was offset over the edge of the base, <br />sufficient that a laborer could put his hand into the wet well for a <br />length of approximately 5 or 6 feet, around the base. <br />The exterior of the wet well base was cleaned and 4 cubic yards of 5~ <br />sack High-Early set concrete was poured around the base. The sewer will <br />be blocked from the wet well and bypass pumped to another manhole. This <br />will erable us to clean mud and shell from the interior of the wet <br />well, which has blocked pump suction. Another 18 inches of concrete will <br />be placed on the interior bottom of the wet well to prevent future <br />leakage. <br />As soon as we are aware of total cost of this repair, I will forward the <br />information to you. Please call if you need additional information. <br />LM/lw <br />cc: Buddy Jacobs, Water/Wastewater Superintendent <br />
