Jackson to install new sewer monitoring system

JACKSON, Mich. (WILX) - It will be a lot easier for Jackson city officials to stop a sewer backup before it gets worse.

• Jackson closing busy residential street for urgent sewer repair
• Section of Jackson street closing for urgent sewer repair on Tuesday
• City of Jackson to residents: “Don’t flush your wipes!”

The city approved the purchase of a new camera system Tuesday night to better allow officials to see and address problems before they become a big mess.

The current system was installed in 1995. It records video using VHS tapes.

The expected replacement cost will be $80,000.
