Jennings Northwest LLC, a Spokane-area subsidiary of Jennings Cos., based in Honolulu, Hawaii, has won a $1.8 million Spokane County contract to install sewer lines in a neighborhood just north of Wandermere Golf Course.

Scott Jennings, owner of Jennings Cos., says work on the project is expected to begin April 12 and will take about five months to complete. In the project, Jennings Northwest will install about 12,000 linear feet of sewer line east along Greenleaf Drive from its intersection with Little Spokane Drive east of U.S. 395, and in the neighborhood there, he says.

The company also will install sewer pipe along Brentwood Drive from its western terminus in that neighborhood to Greenleaf; along Dakota Street and Creek Way, and along Hamilton and Nevada streets between Greenleaf and Pine Tree Drive. It also will install pipe along Cincinnati and Columbus streets between Greenleaf and Brentwood Drive; and along Pine Tree between Cincinnati and Greenleaf. The county will install water lines as the sewer line is installed, after which Jennings Northwest will repave the roads in the neighborhood.

Jennings says he started his company in Hawaii in 2001, after relocating from Seattle, but opened an operation in the Spokane area when one of his supervisors moved back here last year from the Hawaii office. Jennings Northwest employs between 10 and 12 people here.
