County seeks technical report for Goldfield water-line replacement; cost estimate $2.236 million
Summary
County staff authorized an engineering report to pursue a Drinking Water State Revolving Fund loan for replacement of about 7,000 linear feet of asbestos-cement pipe and recoating a 366,000-gallon tank; staff provided a $2,236,000 total estimate.
Adrian Roberts, Goldfield Utilities and Esmeralda County Public Works supervisor, described the need to replace roughly 7,000 linear feet of asbestos-cement pipe on the Goldfield transmission line and to repair and recoat a 366,000-gallon storage tank. "We got rid of the vessel's pipe and then have the tank aligned and with this new coat of paint this time, will last for another couple of years," Roberts said.
County staff told commissioners that Shaw Engineering will prepare a technical report for the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund application, with funds for the engineering agreement to come from the Goldfield Capital Replacement Fund 506. County staff member Susan Dudley provided the cost estimate: "it's $2,236,000 is the total cost of the replacement of the line and of the recoding of the storage tank." The board approved the agreement to prepare the SRF technical report.
Staff said the work responds to known asbestos-cement pipe deterioration and aims to secure low-interest state loan financing to fund replacement and tank recoating.
