The Helena City Commission voted 5-0 on September 29 to approve Change Order Number Two for the 2024 CIPP Sewer Main Rehabilitation Project, designated as Project No. 24-04. The item moved through without discussion or public comment as part of the consent agenda.
CIPP — Cured-In-Place Pipe — is a trenchless method of rehabilitating existing sewer infrastructure without digging up the lines, a technique the city has used to address aging infrastructure while limiting disruption to streets and neighborhoods. No dollar amount for the change order was specified in the meeting transcript.
Consent agenda approvals like this one typically reflect routine project management adjustments that staff and commissioners have already reviewed. Helena residents with questions about the scope of the sewer rehabilitation work can contact the city's public works department for specifics on what the change order modifies.
