ALBANY, Ga. (WALB) - The City of Albany received $6 million to rehabilitate a portion of the city’s sewer system.

City leaders said that portion has been failing for the last 10 years.

Officials said the project is going to be pretty extensive and it’s being done in conjunction with the city’s overall sewer separation project. The funds for this project will be coming from the American Rescue Plan Act and SPLOST 8.

City leaders aid the Albany City Commission will be working with the Georgia Department Of Transportation (DOT) because this project will be focusing on Jefferson Street. Jefferson Street is also scheduled to be resurfaced soon.
