CIP AND CAPITAL PROJECTS FUNDS

Many have inflow and infiltration problems. Proactive replacement, instead of reactive
replacement, will reduce maintenance costs and customer problems.

Operating Impact: Savings of approximately $100,000 annually are expected in
decreased wastewater fees paid due to prevention of inflow and infiltration into the system
after completion of this project.

FY2021-2022 WATER PROJECTS DISCUSSION

❖ Description: The continuation of the 2017 Water CIP will replace the aging 16” water
lines in Whitley Road and Starnes Road and various water lines throughout the city. The
water lines are old and present frequent maintenance issues. The recommended
improvements will significantly increase the level of service of these water lines. The
2019 Water CIP water line projects are planned for Derek Drive from Whitley Road to
Saramac Drive, Melinda Drive from Jackie Terrace to Marigold Drive, MacArthur Drive
from Douglas Drive to Rebecca Lane and Hillcrest Drive from Quail Run to Echo Hill
Drive.
