Master Plan identifies several areas in Old Town, one of which is the 7th Street
Alley, where the waterline is over 75 years old and past the recommended
expected useful life. Staff recommends this water line be replaced and since the
subsurface will be excavated, the aging sewer line should be replaced as well.
The 7th Street Alley Waterline and Sewer Replacement Project CIP No. WT1607
(Project) will replace both water and sewer lines. The waterline will be replaced
with an 8 -inch PVC pipe and the water meters will be upgraded. The sewer pipe
will also be replaced with 8 -inch PVC pipe. Lastly, this project will rehabilitate the
alley pavement with a new concrete surface.
At the October 12, 2015 City Council meeting, the City Council approved a
professional service agreement with Anderson Penna Partners, Inc. to prepare
complete plans, specifications, and engineer's cost estimate for the Project.
The plans and specifications have been completed and approved by the Deputy
Director of Public Works /City Engineer and staff is ready to solicit for bids. Plans
