District engineers report sinkhole probe, launch of sanitary sewer master plan and project updates
Summary
District engineers reported an investigation of a sinkhole near Broadway in No Buena and began a sanitary sewer master-plan kickoff expected to take three to four months; staff also updated the board on flow monitoring in Sand City and a proposed sewer relocation near the Delray Oaks undercrossing.
Thomas Corman, district engineer, told the board the district is investigating a sinkhole at Broadway in No Buena and has issued a work order to its on-call contractor for excavation to investigate and correct pipe offsets. "We still staff is still investigating the sinkhole at Broadway in No Buena," Corman said, noting the work-order and planned excavation.
Corman also said the district is beginning the kickoff meeting for its sanitary sewer master plan, which he described as an effort to update the district's planning documents and schedules. "So that will update basically everything in our report and we'll be proving back to you. That's most likely probably a 3 to four month effort," he said.
Patrick, associate engineer, reported two operational items. First, staff is pursuing an encroachment permit through the district's Wallace consultant for flow monitoring in Sand City to repair manholes and "do some future proofing." He said the permit and monitoring approach are currently under review by Sand City's public works director.
Second, Patrick said project staff working on the four-track undercrossing in Delray Oaks determined the proposed sewer relocation alignment is no longer viable because it is "too crowded with utilities." He said district staff believe they can still complete the relocation within the existing easement by identifying a new route, avoiding additional work beyond routing changes.
Board members offered brief thanks to staff for maintaining operations; no substantive policy decisions or additional directions were recorded. The meeting concluded with adjournment.
