Century Still Dealing With Aftermath Of Sewage Lift Station Wreck
January 10, 2011
The Town of Century is continuing to deal with the aftermath of a December 20 wreck that damaged a sewage lift station and electric generator on Highway 29 near Jackson Street.
Mayor Freddie McCall said he is currently obtaining estimates to replace the lift station and generator, possibly looking to move the lift station underground. Once ordered, McCall said the lift station would arrive in about three weeks, while it might take up to 13 weeks for a replacement natural gas generator.
The mayor said he is negotiating a proper monetary settlement with the trucking company’s insurance carrier to cover the repairs.
The truck driver, Freddie Pelzer, 67, of Douglasville, Georgia, was not injured in the crash. He was charged with careless driving by the Florida Highway Patrol.

Sounds like town management is dragging its feet with this repair job if it hasn’t even ordered the replacement or repair parts. Get with it already and fix the problem! Sure the driver’s insurance company will pay, but only to restore the functionality of the equipment and not a wholesale change out of the configuration to some underground bunker.
