Water and Sewer Capital Projects Fund Descriptions

1. FM 730 South Water Line Extension

This project consists of the construction of an 8-inch water line to be installed along FM 730 South
from Main Street to the Cottonwood Creek housing development. Currently, water service is not
available in this area and is an obstacle to both residential and commercial development.
Additionally, the installation of this line will allow for the water system to be properly looped which
improves water quality and will reduce the need for additional water line flushing in the area. The
layout and design will include all valves, fire hydrants, and casing for necessary boring to install a
section of the line beneath Ash Creek.

Cost: $550,000

Funding Source: Water Impact Fees
Prior Year Bond and C.O. Funds

Operating Budget Impact: No direct financial impact on the operating budget is expected as a
result of this project. No additional staff will be required as a third-party
contractor will be hired to perform the construction. Current staff
members will be involved with the project and they must dedicate time
to oversee the project which does take staff time away from routine
duties creating an indirect impact on the operating budget.

Department: Administration
Utility Maintenance

2. Main Street Water Line Improvements

This project consists of the upgrade of the existing water line on Main Street. The existing 10,500
linear foot water line is made up of various sizes of pipe ranging from 2-inches to 8-inches in
diameter and is mainly constructed of cast iron. The line will be upgraded to a 10-inch PVC line
throughout which will greatly enhance water pressure and water quality in the Main Street area.

Cost: $1,230,000

Funding Source: 2017 SWIFT Fund Bond Issuance Proceeds
