The Lake <br /> Shore Drive Sewer(shown in red) is McKinl y Ave <br /> the first of the five critical sewers to <br /> be rehabilitated. This sewer is <br /> actually a system of large diameter <br /> sewage transmission mains that vary <br /> in size from 36 inches to 84 inches in <br /> diameter at depths ranging from 10 <br /> to 50 feet. The main sewer generally ,h <br /> extends from the intersection of Ward <br /> Eldorado and 25th Street, south roadway <br /> through the northwest portion of <br /> Nelson Park and the neighborhood <br /> north of St. Mary's Hospital, through <br /> the hospital property to Lake Shore Union St <br /> Drive and along Lake Shore Drive to <br /> a Sanitary District of Decatur <br /> junction near the City's South Water <br /> Treatment Plant. At this point <br /> sewage is discharged into a Sanitary Figure 1 Lake Shore <br /> District main which travels west <br /> through the City to the treatment plant on Dipper Lane. Branches of the syst m extend from <br /> Lake Shore Drive up 16ffi Street and up Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive. <br /> The proposed design uses cured-in-place lining technologies that can be imp mented without <br /> excavating the sewer. <br /> Page 2 <br />
