Public Works outlines water, roadway and meter projects; PI meter roll‑out expected after irrigation season
Summary
Public Works Director Neal Winterton briefed Council on ongoing infrastructure projects including completion of channel-to-lake work, American Fork diversion structure, PI meter installations expected to finish after mid‑October, 1520 West and other roadway projects, BLVD Well resiliency work, and planned 4000 North and 800 North projects pending MAG budget decisions.
Public Works Director Neal Winterton provided a comprehensive update on Sept. 16 about the City's infrastructure program, citing near‑term completions and projects planned for next year. He reported the channel-to-lake work is being finalized, the American Fork diversion structure will be finished soon, and pressurized irrigation (PI) meter installation is nearly complete and expected to be finished once the irrigation season ends mid‑October so staff can verify meter readings and integration with billing software.
Winterton said 1520 West remains an ongoing reconstruction project, 2800 North storm‑drain work (off 900 West) has started, Windsong Drive and Murdock Drive work is being finalized, and paving on 1550 East is planned for the first week of October. He described BLVD Well work concluding after a 10‑year discussion and noted an emergency generator was added to provide backup water during power outages to improve resiliency. He also said the 4000 North project estimate has grown since the concept in 2020 and will await Mountainland Association of Governments (MAG) final budget approval before bids are issued; staff hopes construction next spring if funding and bids align.
Winterton emphasized the City's reinvestment in infrastructure and said once PI meters are fully integrated into billing, the City can provide sampled home data and bring results back to the Council next year. Council members asked timing and integration questions; Winterton confirmed the contractor has ordered downtown lights with a possible Dec. 1, 2025 delivery date and the PI data and meter‑billing integration are upcoming tasks for staff follow up.
