County engineer flags rusted 48-inch pipe in Riverside; material cost estimated under $8,000
Summary
Engineers told commissioners a 48-inch diameter pipe in Riverside is rusted and may require replacement; material costs were estimated between $6,600 and $7,100 depending on pipe material and life expectancy differences were discussed.
Commission staff alerted the commission to a rusted 48-inch drainage pipe within the Riverside city limits whose condition is affecting the roadbed. Clay Phillips gave an initial material-only cost range of about $6,600 to $7,100 depending on whether the county selects galvanized pipe (estimated 20–25 year life) or aluminized/longevity material (50–70 year life).
Commissioners discussed whether the county or the city would be responsible for replacement costs and noted the potential need for an agreement if Riverside was to assume part of the cost. Phillips said labor and equipment estimates will be developed and an agreement framework will be drafted for a future meeting; the commission did not take formal action at the work session.
