Littlefield approves $133,000–$180,000 reroute for exposed sewer line on FM 54 & County Road 217
Summary
Council approved moving an exposed sewer line away from an eroding ditch, choosing a longer northern route using poly pipe; estimated cost was $133,000 to $180,000 and the motion passed 4–0 with one member absent.
The City Council voted to reroute an exposed sewer line on FM 54 and County Road 217 after staff advised that erosion in the current right-of-way made repair in place unreliable. City Manager Ray Resendez told the council that securing the line in its current location would not guarantee protection from future erosion and recommended a longer route to the north using poly pipe. The city estimated the project cost at between $133,000 and $180,000.
Mayor Eric Turpen moved to approve the longer reroute; Council Member Jason Ayala seconded the motion. The motion passed with 4 ayes and 1 absent (Buddy Holmes). The council directed that the project proceed under the approved routing and materials; specific procurement steps and exact contract awards were not decided at the meeting.
