Council hears cost and timing for North Center Street waterline additions; budget questions remain
Summary
Councilmembers were briefed on proposed waterline additions tied to the North Center Street trail project that could add cul-de-sacs and extend lines to Pine Canyon/Interlochen; preliminary cost estimates rose from about $500,000 to roughly $1.3 million and staff said crews aim for fall construction if schedules hold.
Midway City staff updated the council on additional waterline work tied to the North Center Street Trail design, including adding cul-de-sacs and a connection from Pine Canyon toward Interlochen Drive.
Staff said initial design work and contractor conversations put current pricing at about $500,000 in preliminary estimates but that total project cost could be roughly $1.3 million once fully priced. Contractors have added crews and staff said they are optimistic the trail work can be completed this fall, though subsurface conditions (e.g., pot rock) can slow progress; an example given was a day that produced 220 feet of waterline in easier ground and only 18 feet where rock was encountered.
Councilmembers asked whether the additional work was included in the water budget; staff said the water budget could pay for needed work but flagged traffic impacts because Center Street already has diversions. Construction staging was described as managing traffic flows to keep major corridors open where feasible. Councilmembers requested more detailed pricing and budget line items to ensure the tentative 2026 budget accounts for the work.
Ending: Staff will provide updated pricing and timeline details; council agreed to review the changes as part of the budget process.
