Description: The 2019 Wastewater CIP will replace wastewater lines that were
identified in the Sewer System Evaluation Survey (SSES) in 2015. These projects will
include Sanitary Sewer Line Replacements throughout the City that have a high amount
of inflow and infiltration and need to be replaced. This replaces the aging clay piping
with Polyvinylchloride (PVC) piping in the older parts of the City. The 2019 Wastewater
CIP and Certificates of Obligation proceeds will continue funding for these projects. A
Sewer System Evaluation Survey (SSES) will commence in FY2018-19 to identify high
priority projects. Two separate projects will occur. The first one will rehabilitate
wastewater lines along the following streets: Hickoryhill Road and Oakhill Road from
Whitley Road to Maplehill Road; Echo Hill Drive from Hightower Drive to Chapman
Road; and Quail Run from Herschel Drive to Highcrest Drive. The second project will
rehabilitate wastewater linesalong the following streets: Whispering Lane from
Wooddale Drive to Stardust Drive; Brookdale Drive from Hightower Drive to Ridgecrest;
Summit Ridge Drive from Rufe Snow Drive to Avalon Drive; Oaklawn Drive from Mickey
Drive to McCoy Drive; Village Park Drive from Greendale Drive to Ridgetop Drive; and
