Warsaw Board of Public Works and Safety approved a contract Thursday for a feasibility study on a proposed combined sewage overflow pipe to be installed.
The pipe is proposed to be installed in the alley north of the former Tinkey property in Warsaw.
The $7,829 contract is between Symbiont, West Allis, Wis., and the Warsaw Waste Water Treatment facility.
