Engineer presents $39,295 preliminary plan to fix County Hwy SS drainage affecting RW Honey
Summary
Morgan & Parmley engineer Zech Gothum presented a proposed County Hwy SS summer project to install curb and gutter, an inlet and drainage channel to address runoff affecting RW Honey; the preliminary estimate is $39,295 pending Chippewa County asphalt estimates and easement discussions.
The Village of New Auburn Board of Trustees heard a presentation Feb. 12 on a proposed summer drainage project along County Hwy SS designed to address runoff problems affecting a property identified in the packet as RW Honey.
Zech Gothum of Morgan & Parmley handed out topographic mapping and described the recommendation: install a concrete mountable curb and gutter on the west side between Pine Street and North Street, add an inlet and a drainage channel just south of North Street, place a 5-foot asphalt apron on the west side of the curb and tie the east side into Chippewa County’s planned removal and replacement of asphalt. Gothum said the $39,295 estimate includes some items the village’s Public Works staff could perform.
Gothum and Public Works Superintendent Garrett Larson said the village still needs Chippewa County’s asphalt cost estimates and must discuss easement needs with the property owner (RW Honey) before finalizing scope and cost. No formal vote was taken; trustees asked for the county estimate and further follow-up before approving a project schedule.
Next steps recorded in the minutes: the village will await Chippewa County’s asphalting estimates and pursue easement discussions with the affected property owner before returning to the board with a refined cost and timeline.
