Public Works reports riprap, concrete repairs and several capital projects progressing
Summary
Public Works manager reported placement of about 50 tons of riprap under the Main Street bridge after an Army Corps recommendation, multiple concrete repairs across town, progress on Hall Street and Tallgrass projects with target completions this summer/fall, and ongoing water-system and AMI replacement work.
Public Works manager Colin Belbert ("Captain Progress") briefed the commission on recent maintenance and capital progress across Hays, highlighting erosion control, pavement repairs and ongoing project milestones.
Belbert said the Stormwater and Service Division installed approximately 50 tons of riprap underneath the Main Street bridge along the levee following Army Corps of Engineers recommendations to prevent erosion. Staff also used concrete (multiple-yard totals) to repair damaged panels at locations including 19th & Fort, Waller just south of 26th Street and the intersection of 22nd & Wheatland.
Belbert reported crew activities in parks and the arrival of two new bison herd members; he also updated the commission on water-work items including a repaired transmission-line leak northeast of Shin Shin, a new service line at 2204 Haney and overnight replacement of a 2-inch meter at 10th & 4th as part of the AMI program. He outlined capital timelines: Hall Street restroom/connection work with an August completion target, Tallgrass infrastructure with sewer structures arriving and a November completion estimate, and framing progress at the new police station with rough-ins starting soon.
