Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Lumberton public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Failing sewer infrastructure and emergency repairs
Council approved emergency replacement of collapsed sewer lines on three streets, a $2.17 million low-interest loan for broader sewer upgrades, and the RFQ for a $4.8 million lead service line replacement grant.
Lead service line replacement
A $415,900 agreement with the Wooton Company covers technical services for replacing about 300 lead water service lines, paid from a state grant.
Production wells project rebid
The only bid for new wells 11-13 came in over budget, so the city will revise the scope and rebid in about five months — delaying new water capacity.
