City reports well drilling reached 614 ft and sewer work under railroad complete; Good Enough Road reopening set
Summary
City staff told the council that a recently drilled well reached 614 feet and that geologic conditions permit cost savings of about $75,000; the CC Sea Street sewer project completed the difficult jack-and-bore under the railroad and southbound Good Enough Road is scheduled to reopen Feb. 27 with full reopening expected mid–late March. Staff also announced business roundtable outreach and will research trade-show booth options for economic development.
City staff updated the council on multiple infrastructure and economic-development items.
On water infrastructure, staff reported the new well drilling reached a depth of 614 feet and that geologic conditions were uniform through the bore. Staff said the lack of a well-defined isolation zone at one phase of the work will allow the city to forgo sampling at that stage and result in an estimated savings of approximately $75,000. The presenter said the driller will finalize well design while offsite for roughly two weeks and that sampling at different elevations will occur once the screen is installed.
On sewer infrastructure, staff said the most difficult portion of the CC Sea Street sewer project — a Jack-and-bore installation beneath the railroad tracks between Old Telegraph and Hearth Drive — is complete. As a result, southbound Good Enough Road toward Highway 126 is scheduled to reopen on Feb. 27, with periodic closures required later for storm drain installation and pavement repair; staff anticipates a full reopening in mid to late March.
On economic development, staff announced a new Business Roundtable webpage, a March 2 meeting at 8:30 a.m. at the Fillmore Town Theater, and a survey sent to registered businesses. Council members asked staff to research whether the city should staff or fund trade-show booths (ICSC and others) to solicit businesses; staff will return with options, costs and recommended next steps.
