Council agrees to buy 16-inch pipe stock to support future water-main connection for asphalt plant
Summary
Engineering proposed supplying roughly 850 feet of 16-inch ductile iron pipe (city already stocks ~1,100 feet) at an estimated additional cost of about $76,000, to be laid by the developer now and used by the city in future connections; the board approved the purchase from the current budget.
John (engineering staff) told the board the city already holds about 1,100 feet of 16-inch ductile iron pipe in inventory and would need roughly another 850 feet for the asphalt-plant connection; purchasing the additional pipe would cost approximately $76,000 and is budgeted for the year.
Staff explained the developer will lay the pipe as part of their work and the city would supply the material to avoid having a redundant 8-inch line later. Council members noted the new asphalt-plant project is in litigation but accepted that the infrastructure will be needed eventually; the board approved supplying the pipe and funding the purchase from the current budget line.
