Council authorizes $103,125 sewer‑main repair at 225 Prospect Street
Summary
Council approved a work order under the 2025 on‑call utility repair contract to fix and line a settled sewer main on private property at 225 Prospect Street, after staff obtained an easement from the property owner.
The Leavenworth City Council on Aug. 12 approved a work order with KRCI LLC for $103,125 to repair a settled sewer main at 225 Prospect Street and to line the repaired section. The work follows an earlier system repair project that uncovered the problem but could not be completed at the time because the city lacked an easement.
Why it matters: The failed section caused flow issues and required corrective work to prevent ongoing sewer problems. Staff said they negotiated an easement with the property owner and will proceed with the repair under the city’s on‑call utility repair contract.
Council action and conditions: Council authorized the mayor to sign the work order under the city’s on‑call contract with KRCI LLC. Staff noted related easement costs and discussed that residents on adjacent property seeking permanent private water service changes must pursue separate arrangements; the sewer repair scope was limited to city utilities and right‑of‑way work covered by the easement.
Next steps: The contractor will proceed with excavation and repair; staff will coordinate with property owners regarding access and restoration. The council recorded unanimous approval of the work order.
