The Helena City Commission voted 5-0 Monday to approve Change Order Number Two for the 2024 CIPP Sewer Main Rehabilitation Project, a cured-in-place pipe lining effort the city designated as Project Number 24-04. The item moved through the consent agenda without public comment or discussion from the dais.
Commissioner Reed moved approval and the motion was seconded before all five commissioners voted in favor. No financial figures tied to the change order were disclosed during the meeting, and no contractor was identified in the public record of the action.
CIPP rehabilitation is a trenchless method used to repair aging sewer mains by inserting and curing a resin liner inside an existing pipe, extending its useful life without full excavation. The unanimous and uncontested vote suggests the change order was routine in nature, though the absence of disclosed cost details leaves the full scope of the modification unclear from the public record.
