Sackett Contracting & Excavating, of Nordman, Idaho, has won a $3.2 million contract to construct the second phase of a wastewater treatment system for the Granite Reeder Water and Sewer District, located in Nordman, about 35 miles north of Priest River, Idaho.

In the project, Sackett will construct a collection system that will include a total of about 52,000 linear feet of sewer pipes and three pumping stations. The project will connect more than 200 homes to a treatment facility that was constructed in the first phase of the project, says Joe Krizensky, operations manager for Sackett Contracting. The second phase will include most of the planned collection system, he says. Bids likely will be sought later this year for the third and final phase of the project, in which another trunk line will be added, he says.

The project is being funded by the Idaho state Department of Environmental Quality, Krizensky says. Sackett broke ground on the project at the beginning of August. Though the contract calls for a 400-day project, Krizensky says the company hopes to complete the work sooner.
