Tuscaloosa
Summary
The city is spending big to keep sewer lift stations running — a $384,000 valve replacement closeout and a new three-year, $415,000-a-year chemical treatment contract. These stations move wastewater across town, so failures mean backups.

The city is extending a $200,000 wastewater odor-control trial at Lift Stations 2 and 33 into next fiscal year, wanting a full rainy season of data before committing to a new vendor. Odor control at lift stations matters a lot to nearby neighborhoods.
