CIP AND CAPITAL PROJECTS FUNDS

Justification: The aging wastewater lines throughout the City are 30+ years old. The
lines are subject to ground movement, pulled joints, root infiltration and deterioration.
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.

WATER & WASTEWATER CIP, GROUP 3

❖ Description: This project is part of the
water/wastewater projects and includes
a complete reconstruction of
Summertime Lane street, storm water
drainage system, water main
improvements, and sanitary sewer
improvements. Construction will include
Summertime Lane from Rufe Snow Drive
to Carousel Drive. The project also
includes Route 66 from Summertime
Lane to Whispering Lane.

Justification: This project is part of the
water lines that were identified as part of
the Sewer System Evaluation Survey
(SSES) in 2015 and 2019 Water CIP
water line projects. The aging water and
wastewater lines throughout the City are
old and present frequent maintenance
issues. Systematic replacement will
reduce maintenance costs and customer problems.

Operating Impact: This project is funded through the ARPA grant and 2019 Certificate
of Obligations.
