Kearney staff outline timelines for water tower, waterline, sewer upgrades and street projects
Summary
City staff reported near-term capital work: repainting the water plant basin in October, materials for a 1,000,000-gallon water tower arriving in November, a South Clark waterline replacement next spring, a wastewater anti-degradation study due in November and multiple street and trail projects under design or grant-funded.
In the FY25 progress report, City Administrator Sheila gave a schedule for several capital projects. On water projects she said the repainting of the water plant's primary basin "is expected to be completed in October," materials for a 1,000,000-gallon water tower were expected to be delivered throughout November with groundbreaking to follow, and a disinfectant system upgrade is expected to be completed in January. The South Clark waterline replacement is expected to kick off in spring 2025.
On sewer, Sheila said the wastewater-treatment-plant anti-degradation study is expected to be completed in November and staff is making plans to expand the plant as capacity nears its limit. For transportation, staff reported overlaying 3.6 lane miles over the summer, starting a Shadowbrook culvert replacement with completion next spring, and applied for grants for a Mac Porter Park Connector Trail and a Nation Road complete-street project; design phases are underway for multiple crossing and sidewalk projects.
