Sewer Line Collapse

El Campo faces another sewer line collapse, but the North Fahrenthold Street issue won’t cost as much as last year’s South Wharton disaster. The El Campo City Council approved $150,000 for repairs. Crews found the damage while fixing a minor issue. Public Works Director Kevin Thompson explained a temporary fix is in place, but it won’t last. The repairs will be funded from the $1.5 million Utility Fund. Ramrod, already working nearby, will replace the damaged pipe, which affects several neighborhoods and businesses. Work might start this week, weather permitting.
