Public works warns ~150 homes face water service line replacement
Summary
Public Works Director Alonso Limones told the council that about 150 homes with corroding copper service lines will need replacement with PEX, with major costs tied to road and sidewalk repairs and excavation.
Public Works Director Alonso Limones reported to the Donald City Council that service lines from the water main to meters in Country Oaks, Brentwood and Chantal are copper and experiencing corrosion. Ten lines have already been replaced with PEX; Mr. Limones estimated roughly 150 homes will require line replacement, with the bulk of costs coming from excavation and repairing torn-up roads and sidewalks.
Limones described the problem as a city-maintained section of service line from the main to the meter for those neighborhoods. The minutes note the scale (about 150 homes) but do not include a cost estimate or a timeline for completing replacements; the council did not record a formal directive or funding allocation in the minutes.
