By Billy Dennis

Press release:

Date: October 13, 2009
Released by: Alma Brown, Communications Manager
Subject: MAIN STREET

Due to recent weather conditions, the Greater Peoria Sanitary District has moved the completion date for the Main Street sanitary sewer repairs back one week. Pending future weather conditions, the work is anticipated to be completed by October 23. Thank you for your continued patience during these repairs and please drive safely through all construction zones. For more detailed information, contact the Greater Peoria Sanitary District at (309) 637-3511.

If I could drive, I’d be more concerned.
