Signed in September 2022, the investment contract which provides for the renewal of the sewer pipes in the metropolis of Lyon (Rhône) has now been finalized. The works started last October. A first phase began in particular in the municipalities of Francheville, Charbonnières, Sainte-Foy, Tassin and Saint-Genis-les-Ollières.
The work, estimated at over 1 million euros, will replace 1.5 km of piping. These operations are part of the rehabilitation of the collector located along the Yzeron River. Their purpose, among other things, is to restore the sewerage capacity of the network and to solve the infiltration problems that cause the drainage of the water table.
This is an initiative that will help preserve water quality in natural environments by limiting the discharge of polluted water during heavy rains. The project also aims to ensure easier circulation of wastewater in the pipes.
