CIPP Used to Rehab Sewer Line in Gautier, Miss.

A 387-foot section of Gautier’s main sewer artery received what amounts to a plastic stent Thursday.

A cured-in-place pipe liner was installed in the 30-inch sewer line on Old Spanish Trail used by most of the city, said Jere Shuster, manager of the water and sewer department.

“The only thing that doesn’t come through here is Dolphin,” said Shuster. “I would say half of Gautier comes through here.”

The sock-like felt-and-resin material entered the sewer line at the north end of Bemis Avenue, a street often plagued with sewer overflows.

“This is the beginning,” he said. “This is not going to solve it, but this is the beginning of hopefully the fix,” he said.
