Moran city to replace sewer lines

By Kathy Thomson

The city of Moran plans to replace almost twenty-five hundred feet of eight inch sewer lines running along Fisher Avenue and Grand Avenue using local money and HUD Community Development Block Grant funds administered by the Texas Department of Agriculture.

The grant was applied for last year, according to city secretary Teresa King.

“We’ve got the money,” she said. “We’re just finishing out the paperwork.”

The project is estimated to cost $288,750 and will be paid for with $275,000 in HUD CDBG grant funds and $13,750 in local funding.

Cleanup Day

The Leon Bosque RC&D is funding a city wide clean-up day in Moran on Saturday, April 4.

“There will be two trash roll-off containers and a tire trailer supplied by Joseph LaBarbera with the Leon-Bosque RC&D,” said King. “We will also supply a spot for tree and limb debris, and a spot for scrap metal.”

The tree limbs will be mulched by the Texas Forest Service, and the metal will be hauled off and scrapped.

The cleanup day is set for 8:00 a.m. through 4:00 p.m. on April 4.
