City Manager reports progress on municipal building, water-main, splash pad and water tower projects
Summary
City Manager Marcos Nichols reported that prefabricated panels for the municipal building are being installed and steel work is tentatively scheduled, water-main testing is nearly complete, electrical conduit work has been delayed by coordination with Duke Energy, the splash pad concrete pour is tentatively scheduled pending inspection, and the elevated water tower project will proceed on a roughly 500-day construction timeline.
City Manager Marcos Nichols provided a status update on multiple capital projects. He said prefabricated panels for the new municipal building are being installed on the northwest portion of the structure and that steel installation is tentatively scheduled for late April or early May. Nichols reported the water main at the municipal site has passed testing and is nearly complete, with the loop around the building expected to be connected within the next week.
Nichols said electrical conduit installation has been delayed by coordination with Duke Energy; once conduit work is complete, final street work and curb installation along Edgewood Drive can proceed and allow for additional commercial connections. He also said stormwater revisions have been completed, enabling final stormwater-basin connections, and that the splash pad concrete pour is tentatively scheduled for the following week pending inspection of electrical bonding components. On the elevated water tower project, Nichols emphasized ongoing structural work and characterized the schedule as gradual because of complexity, noting a roughly 500-day construction timeline.
The update provided schedule markers and identified utility-coordination constraints; no formal approvals or change orders were recorded in these segments.
