Valley View council authorizes up to $25,000 to speed Hub Parkway water-main repairs
Summary
After reports of a recent Hub Parkway break and discussion of recurring water-line failures, council approved a not-to-exceed $25,000 authorization to repair the Hub Parkway break and asked staff to circulate final quotes to the finance committee.
The village council on May 6 authorized repairs of a water-main break on Hub Parkway, voting unanimously to approve an expenditure not to exceed $25,000.
The mayor described the break and said preliminary quotes from a contractor put the repair "somewhere between $17,000 and $21,000." Council members discussed multiple recent breaks across the village and expressed frustration with the suburban water-main renewal program's scoring criteria after several unsuccessful applications. Members also noted that reimbursement from the water authority, if any, is limited and not guaranteed.
A motion to authorize repairs not to exceed $25,000 was moved and seconded; the council approved it unanimously and asked the service and finance staff to share the final quote with the finance committee once available.
