Pleasant Grove staff outline roughly $50 million in road, stormwater and meter projects
Summary
City staff told the council the city is completing multiple infrastructure projects — stormwater outfall work, several street repavings and a citywide meter installation — and expects some construction to finish this fall with additional work planned next year.
City staff told the Pleasant Grove City Council at its Sept. 16 work session that the city has about $50 million in public-works projects underway or planned, covering stormwater, street repaving and advanced water meters.
Neil (staff member) said “we have some large projects wrapping up,” and described a nearly finished lake-channel and a major storm-drain outfall tied to what he called an AF diversion structure. He told the council that after the irrigation season ends in mid-October crews will complete meter-related work associated with the diversion.
The staff update listed several street and drainage projects that are active or scheduled: 1520 West (utilities work and repaving, with paving anticipated in the next few weeks), 2800 North (storm-drain work off 900 West), Windsong and Murdoch (final surface work), 1550 East (planned October paving), and the long 500 East repaving effort. Neil also said the city added an emergency generator at the recreation center to provide emergency water during extended power outages.
On water metering, staff said the advanced meter (PI meter) program is partially implemented and work remains to import roughly half the new meter data into the billing system; staff expects full operational integration “in the next few months.” Neil described the metering effort as a “big, big, $10,000,000 project,” and framed it as part of the broader $50 million investment in community infrastructure.
Looking ahead, Neil said 800 North (from 1300 West to North County Boulevard) and 680 West are on next year’s plan list, and the city is completing design work on a Battle Creek (Kiwanis) parking-lot expansion. He also noted the 4000 North estimate has risen since its 2020 concept and that property and budget issues remain to finalize before bidding in spring.
The council asked about operations for generators (storage and monthly exercise runs) and whether fuel would be stored on site; staff replied fuel will be stored with the generator and rotated by scheduled runs. Staff also said the Battle Creek parking-lot work is a full redesign to expand single-car and trailer parking, with construction currently targeted for completion around Memorial Day (design, bid and construction dependent).
The update emphasized ongoing maintenance work across neighborhoods and concluded with staff noting the city is beginning planning for next year’s work while finishing current contracts and closeouts.
