August, 2004:  The sewer project is in the final design stages!  Kramer engineers have been completing the surveys for the new sewer lines.  They have been working on them for the last two weeks around the community.  They have started on the plans.  The final plans should be done by the end of September and then they will be sent to Rural Development for approval.  Construction should start hopefully start in the spring.
 
Larkin Group will be completing the final plans for the infrastructure improvement project.  The final plans will them be sent to the Kansas Dept of Health and Environment and the grant administrator for approval.  We will be getting a list of contractors.  That will allow them to send bid packets out for the project.  We will try and keep all work local.  Estimated time for approval from state KDHE us 4 weeks.
