The Grantville City Council discusses a development with Robinson Weeks for upgrades to the city's sewer system to prepare for a new industrial development. From left, Alan Wacaser, Casey Evans, Mayor Doug Jewell, Ruby Hines and Jim Sells.
Grantville may upgrade one of its pump stations to compensate for an increased sewer flow from a new industrial development.

In March, construction of a one-million square foot warehouse on Lowry Road halted when the city council voted not to rezone a piece of property from residential to light industrial.
This time, the property that is under consideration for development is already zoned for industrial development.
The property, owned by RW Grantville II Industrial Owner LLC, will be developed by Robinson Weeks, an industrial real-estate developer.
According to city engineer Brennan Jones, the agreement with the developer will transfer sewer flow in the area from the Pine Street Basin to the Colley Street Land Basin. Flow from there would then go to the Griffin Street Pump Station.
The development is expected to use 12,000-15,000 gallons of water per day. Jones said the piping will have to be modified, but overall it is a minor upgrade to the system.
"It relieves some flow from the Pine Street wastewater treatment system, which will help that pond stay in compliance with its permit. The Pine Street pond is flowing at about its permitted limit, and so by transferring a little bit of this flow to that Griffin Street pump station, it actually relieves some flow from that treatment system," he said.
Jones added that the sewer system would be private until it connects with the public system. The developer will coordinate the construction before handing over the completed piping system to the city.
Mayor Doug Jewell said he was concerned that while the development may use 12,000-15,000 gallons of water now, they may require more in the future.
Jones said the city could have some control over something like that by incorporating it and other stipulations into the development agreement with Robinson Weeks.
The council will vote on the issue at its June 20 meeting.
