DISCUSSION
This project will replace the waterline in Morro and Walnut streets and the sewerline in Morro
Street. This project came about after a large leak was found in the waterline on Morro Street last
year. A large release of water occurred. Debris was found in the sewer manhole and some of the
street failed where the subsurface material was washed away. The waterline was temporarily
repaired and the street patched over. Staff was concerned about the extent of the loss of road
base and trench backfill on both the water and sewer and recommended both utility lines be
replaced. These projects were budgeted for in the 1998-99 Financial Plan. Staff is monitoring
the street surface for signs of additional settlement due to loss of base. The street will be
reconstructed if settlement occurs.

Community Development Department has given this project a categorical exemption.
