Board discusses Creeper Trail water-line repairs; considers using previously allocated ARPA funds
Summary
Supervisors heard an update on plans to install a two-mile water line from Damascus to Taylors Valley and discussed using $386,000 previously designated for the Creeper Trail (now local funds) to help cover upfront costs while FEMA and grants are pursued.
Board members discussed plans to repair the Creeper Trail and install a water line from Damascus to Taylors Valley, with the service authority seeking engineering design and funding. Supervisor Ball reported the service authority will procure engineering to design roughly two miles of water line and noted FEMA may cover 75% of eligible repair costs under emergency procurement.
Ball said the county previously set aside about $386,000 (from ARPA funds) for work on Trestle 30 and suggested those funds — now described as local funds — might be made available to help the service authority get projects underway. "Nearly 3 years ago, we allocated about 386,000 of our ARPA funds to work on Trestle 30," Ball said, and the group discussed engineering, grant opportunities and the service authority’s reserves as possible sources to move the project forward. Board members asked staff to clarify funding availability and next steps.
