Officials will hold a groundbreaking Tuesday to mark the start of $25 million in improvements at the South Wastewater Treatment Plant near Gardere Lane, part of more than $1 billion in sewer improvements required by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The Sanitary Sewer Overflow Program consists of 92 projects throughout East Baton Rouge Parish. This is the 12th SSO project to start construction, and is scheduled for completion in August 2010.
