Public works updates: waterline, sewer televising, street design and meter replacement project
Summary
Public Works Director Elvin Hernandez reported ongoing CIP work: designs and construction for waterline replacement on Rhett, Tara and Mayerling; completion of wastewater televising of Memorial trunk line; street‑design work on several roads; and the water‑meter replacement project that began the week of June 24, 2024.
Elvin Hernandez, Director of Public Works, told council Aug. 20 that the city is advancing several capital projects, including waterline replacement design and construction on Rhett, Tara and Mayerling drives; completion of wastewater televising on the Memorial trunk line; and design for asphalt street work on Knipp, Strey, Taylorcrest and Bunker Hill Road. Hernandez said the water meter replacement project began the week of June 24, 2024.
Several invoices and proposals tied to these projects appear elsewhere on the agenda and in the consent materials, including professional services for traffic and pedestrian crossing studies (Kimley Horn), engineering services for waterline rehabilitation (Langford Engineering), and design and construction consulting for asphalt mill/overlay work (Tetra Tech). The city also listed equipment and gateway purchases for the meter project from Core & Main and Neptune‑compatible components in the consent docket.
Why it matters: the combined work addresses aging water infrastructure, sanitary‑sewer assessment and street maintenance. The meter replacement contract and associated hardware purchases will affect water‑system accuracy, billing and future operations. The minutes do not record contract award procedures or additional council direction in detail in this meeting; many procurement items are listed on the consent agenda for routine approval.
