DISCUSSION
Throughout the year, City Utilities Department staff make emergency repairs to water and sewer lines in the
city street. At the time of repair, temporary asphalt patches are placed at the surface of the street where
trenches have been dug. These temporary patches eventually need to be replaced with a stronger and more
permanent asphalt patch. As the number of patches that need repair accumulates over time, it becomes
economical to make these permanent repairs under a single contract. This project will repair 94 trenches
throughout the City. A complete list of all locations is shown in the Special Provisions.
This project is part of the Water Distribution System Improvements listed in the 2003-2005 Financial
Plan,Appendix B pages 70—73.
