In early August, construction began on the so-called Lift Station Upgrade project in Bay City. As part of this project, an old iron sewer line that runs over Patterson Creek is being replaced with a buried HDPE line under the creek, and run into the new lift station. The lift station will be upgraded with new, more efficient pumps. An RV dump station will also be installed on site, enabling traveling RVs to dump their tanks at a safe, secure location, conveniently located along Highway 101.
In preparation for construction work, the Recycle Shack was relocated to the corner of 2nd and B Streets, where there is also ADA access. This recycling facility is maintained by R-Sanitary Service.
This project was made possible thanks in part to funding from the American Rescue Plan Act, provided to the City of Bay City through the Oregon State Legislature, as well as local resources.
