Depoe Bay council approves $16,795 to repair leaking waterline under Highway 101 bridge
Summary
Council authorized up to $16,795 for Carter & Company to repair a longstanding leak in a treated-water line under the Highway 101 bridge and discussed temporary bypasses and impacts to the State Parks building.
Council reviewed damage to a treated-water line beneath the Highway 101 bridge and authorized spending not to exceed $16,795 for repairs by Carter & Company.
Staff presented a project scope and cited a long-running leak that has required bypass work; council members expressed concern about the water-supply impacts for the State Parks building and public facilities. "We have a leak... I've asked her to calculate how many dollars that cost us," the presiding official said during the discussion.
Council voted to authorize the listed contract for repairs, directed staff to coordinate with the harbor and public-works teams for diver inspection and timeline estimates, and asked the administrator to bring back exact cost breakdowns during the budget process. A councilor noted the city is concurrently addressing bridge brackets and related waterline work and requested scheduling that avoids conflicting closures.
The funding authorization covers immediate repair and inspection work; staff said they would procure quotes and return with precise scheduling and additional recommendations for minimizing service interruptions.
