(La Porte, IN) - A sewer line extension to serve a new building should be happening soon at New Porte Landing.

The line will serve Grand Heritage Federal Credit Union, which will relocate from its present location on Koomler Drive.

The building cannot be constructed, though, until the line is installed and connected to an existing sewer.

Waste Water Department Superintendent Jerry Jackson recommended the contract be approved during yesterday’s La Porte Redevelopment Commission meeting since the cost was close to the original estimate and eliminate further delays.

“This is holding up the project, I understand.  Now, we can move forward,” he said.,

The contract for just over $58,000 is contingent upon review by the city’s Office of Engineering, which estimated the job at $50,000 before the job went out for bids.
