Council approves Wade Trim contract for Hampton Road Water Main Phase 2; council questions number of hookups
Summary
Burton City Council authorized a contract with Wade Trim, Inc. for the Hampton Road Water Main Phase 2 project. Council members asked how many properties had connected to Phase 1 and whether the line would reach Davidson Township; administration said hookups have been minimal and the current phase stops at Vassar.
The Burton City Council authorized a contract with Wade Trim, Inc. for the Hampton Road Water Main Phase 2 project at its April 14 meeting, and council members pressed administration for details about customer hookups to the completed Phase 1.
Vice President Hall moved to approve the contract and Councilwoman Hixson supported the motion. Councilman Heffner asked how many hookups the city had seen since Phase 1 was completed; administration said it believed the number of new taps was zero or possibly one or two but did not have firm data available at the meeting. “I wanna say 0, but I feel like there was, like, 1 or 2,” an administration speaker said.
Council members also asked whether the new line would connect to Davidson and whether Davidson Township would pay to connect to Burton’s line. Administration said the Phase 2 work will stop at Vassar and that there is no immediate tie‑in to Davidson; future phases would be required to extend the line. The mayor and council referenced federal funding supporting the current phase and said additional phases would depend on available funding and engineering.
The council approved the Wade Trim contract by roll-call vote. The administration was asked to provide follow-up information on the number of actual hookups to the Phase 1 line.
No specific dollar amount for the Wade Trim contract was stated in the meeting record provided in the transcript.
