ON-GOING BASE CONSTRUCTION: The 355th CES would like to notify all Military and Civilian Personnel of an authorized contractor who will be supporting an on-going, base wide sewer project. You may notice them periodically as they move around the base in their labeled trucks. They will not be entering any buildings. The contractor is currently using a camera to conduct inspections of the underground sewer lines. They will also be cleaning the lines using a very large Water Pump Truck. This on-going effort should not have any impact on your day-to-day operations, though you will be notified in a timely manner if that changes. The project is expected to continue for up to 18 months, into October 2024.
