Plans for the proposed sewer tank and pumping station off Cheshire Bridge Road are now available to the public online.
The city of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management plans to build one 10-million gallon, raised overflow tank off Cheshire Bridge Road at 2061 Liddell Drive.
The tank would be about 55 feet tall and 185 feet wide, with a pumping station and electrical station on the flood plain at 2001 Cheshire Bridge Rd., near the north end of Lenox Road.
Plans call for tunneling diluted sewage overflow under Cheshire Bridge Road to the Liddell Road tank when the main system is overcapacity, which is usually about once a month, EDT Waterworks principal engineer Donald Fry told resudents at a community meeting last month.
Construction is expected to start in December 2012 and be completed in May 2014.

I drive on Cheshire Bridge almost every morning and cross Peachtree Creek. When I cross the creek it almost always smells like sewage. I don't see how adding this project could make it any worse...hopefully it will make it better.

The "not in my neighborhood" mentality is pervasive. The fact is, this has to be in a logical area and this seems to be it. And as Tammy said, maybe this will actually be an improvement.
