Delaware County approves $35,000 asset-management contract as sewer taps climb
Summary
The Board approved a $35,000 annual support contract for the county’s asset management program and received a sanitary update showing dozens of residential developments and roughly 86 single-family connections in May and about 700 taps year-to-date.
The Delaware County Board of Commissioners on May 29 approved a $35,000 professional services agreement with Ferguson and NIPO Inc. for annual technical support of the county’s asset management program.
Tiffany Mag, director of environmental services, told the board the contract will provide technical assistance as the county improves its asset database and develops a prioritization framework to schedule maintenance and replacements for critical infrastructure. “This is basically technical assistance as we improve our asset database,” Mag said.
Mag also delivered the monthly sanitary update and listed development activity across the county, naming multiple projects under review or recently approved: Eagle Creek phases 2 and 3 (68 single-family lots by Pulte), Woodland Lake (211 rental units by Wilcox Communities, recently annexed into Sunbury), Honey Grove (54 single-family homes by Pulte), Northport Place (43 units in a seven-building project), Wilson Road sewer main extension (15-inch extension to serve the east side of the outlet mall), Independent Living at Old State (22 condo units), Redwood Powell Home Road phase 1 (an apartment project), Clarkshaw Crossing (47 single-family lots and 28 condo units in phases A and B) and Evans Farm Section 6 Phase B (97 single-family homes in the next phase of development).
Mag gave preliminary connection numbers for May: 86 single-family taps, 0 multifamily taps and 1 commercial connection. She said year-to-date totals are about 700 taps; staff budgeted 1,481 taps for the year, up from prior budgeting in the 800–900 range. Mag reported cumulative totals so far this year of 390 single-family and 305 multifamily taps. “So we’re pretty well in line with our budgeted number of taps right now,” she said.
Commissioners voted to approve Resolution 25-403 (asset-management agreement) by recorded voice vote: Barb Lewis: Aye; Gary Merrill: Aye; Jeff Benton: Aye.
The contract is described as annual support for the county’s asset management program; the resolution does not specify additional contract terms beyond the $35,000 amount. The sanitary update listed project names and tap counts; timing for specific private development buildouts and commercial tenants was not specified in the public record of the hearing.
