Construction costs for a sewer project in Huntington can be reduced by about $16 million, the Huntington Common Council learned on Tuesday, June 11.
In addition, the revisions will make the sewer less expensive to operate and maintain - with an estimated savings of $4.3 million over 20 years.
Representatives of Greeley and Hansen, an engineering firm headquartered in Chicago, IL, gave the news to council members.
"We have identified some very large savings," said Anthony Goodnight, director of public works and engineering services for the city.
