Meeting to Discuss Cheshire Bridge Sewage Project Set for Monday

The city of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management employees will meet with the community on Monday to discuss plans to plans to build a sewer tank and pumping station off Cheshire Bridge Road.

The meeting — the second this summer — is set for 6 p.m. Monday, Aug. 6, at Rock Springs Presbyterian Church, 1824 Piedmont Ave.

Plans include building one 10-million gallon, raised overflow tank off Cheshire Bridge Road at 2061 Liddell Drive.

The tank would be about 55 feet tall and 185 feet wide, with a pumping station and electrical station on the flood plain at 2001 Cheshire Bridge Rd., near the north end of Lenox Road.

Plans call for tunneling diluted sewage overflow under Cheshire Bridge Road to the Liddell Road tank when the main system is overcapacity, which is usually about once a month, EDT Waterworks principal engineer Donald Fry told resudents

Construction is expected to start in December 2012 and be completed in May 2014.

If you go: Monday, Aug. 6, 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Loudermilk Center at Rock Springs Presbyterian Church, 1824 Piedmont Ave.
