Agenda Title:
Budget Adjustment and Appropriation from Utilities Fund Balance for Additional Emergency Repair Work on Rt. 3 Sewer Line
Recommendation:
Approve the attached budget adjustment and appropriation.
Non-Staff Name and Title of Presenters:
A budget adjustment and appropriation in the amount of $145,000 for additional emergency work occurring to replace the deteriorated Rt. 3 sewer line.
Summary:

Emergency repairs have been underway to replace an existing, aging sewer line under Rt. 3 West.  This line recently ruptured and essentially disintegrated due to age and use.  While the repairs were being made, an additional problem was found with more than 100’ of sewer line that cannot be accessed, but which is showing signs of backing up due to age and deterioration. 

 

Work is now underway to complete this additional emergency repair and funding is available within the Utilities Capital Projects Fund balance to fund it.  The attached budget adjustment allocates $145,000 from the Utilities Capital Projects Fund balance to complete this necessary infrastructure replacement work.
