The Marshall Municipal Utilities Board of Public Works approved several replacement projects at a recent meeting on April 28.

The board approved a motion to replace a water main on West Clara Street, from Benton Avenue to Grant Avenue. The budget for the project is set at $47,000 using in-house labor and equipment. MMU General Manager Jeff Bergstrom said the project might not officially start until the fall.

The board also approved a motion to replace the main lighting fixtures on the turbine deck of two unit buildings. The lights will be replaced with LED’s to help save energy costs.

In other news, the board accepted a $26,430 bid from Septagon Construction to replace concrete on the north side of the Electric Distribution building. The area on the building has several cracks and is beginning to break up. The project is estimated to start in May.
