Gwinnett to replace aging water, sewer lines

Gwinnett County will replace 12 miles of aging water mains under contracts approved by the Board of Commissioners Tuesday.

The work will be done in 15 subdivisions and along residential roads in and around Snellville, Lilburn, Norcross, Hoschton and Sugar Hill. In addition, more than a mile of frequently clogged sewer lines in Lawrenceville also will be replaced.

Commissioners approved contracts totaling $5.6 million for the work. The county tracks the break history and repair costs of lines to decide which water lanes to replace.
