Redevelopment Commission Agenda Item
DATE: March 22, 2019
FROM: Kara Boyles, City Engineer
SUBJECT: Budget Request – Water Works – 119-036 Water Main, Hydrant, and Valve
Replacement
Which TIF? (circle one) River West; River East; South Side; Douglas Road; West Washington
PURPOSE OF REQUEST: Funding for professional engineering and construction of the improvements in
the amount of $400,000.
Specifics: Our City’s water system has approximately 585 miles of water main, mostly
consisting of cast iron; 6,500 main line valves; and 5,000 fire hydrants. The system
is aging and has not been replaced at a regular frequency. Older piping is more
likely to fail resulting in water loss and service disruptions to customers, and older
valves/hydrants can become inoperable resulting in increased risks, particularly
during unplanned emergencies. This project reinstates a routine replacement
program which includes some annual funding for replacement of critical mains
and associated valving and hydrants to improve operability, reliability, reduce
risks, and improve customer satisfaction.
