Line extensions progress at Deer Ridge, EDA provides $40,000 to support work
Summary
Authority staff reported progress on Deer Ridge and Spring Willow line extensions, noting 1,560 feet completed so far and $40,000 in EDA funding that helped secure discounted contractor rates.
Hancock Service Authority members heard updates on ongoing water and sewer line extensions during the meeting.
Speaker 6 said work is underway on Deer Ridge and that the U.S. Economic Development Administration provided $40,000 to support the project, allowing contractors to offer reduced rates. Speaker 7 reported approximately 1,560 feet of pipe laid to date toward an estimated 3,300 feet total on the Deer Ridge run.
The authority discussed sequencing of remaining work, noting crews would next address Spring Willow (estimated around 2,100 feet). Speaker 7 said if timing became tight they would tie into an existing 2-inch line near Robert Cloud’s property temporarily and proceed from the church toward the pay area.
Members praised staff for completing the lead-service-line inventory and for progress on extensions; staff said they will continue inspections, coordinate contractor staffing and return with updates as construction advances.
