DISCUSSION While installing a connection for the new Housing Authority Project,at the corner of.Johnson and Ella, it was discovered that the existing sewer pipe line was in extremely poor condition, The Wastewater Collection crew had to complete a specialized connection due to the extent of the deterioration. This project. was not included in the 2005-07 budget as a planned maintenance replacement; however due to its condition, the Utilities Department has increased its priority in front of the other projects on the list. The concrete pipe is cracked in several places and blocked in others. The new residential construction in the area, along with the extremely poor condition of the line, dictates that the sewerline be replaced as soon as possible. The Utilities Department has determined the sewerline in Ella from Sierra Way to near Binns Court, the-line adjacent to the failing section, is also in need of replacement in order to alleviate ongoing maintenance issues on that block as well. Staff has packaged this section as an Additive Alternate to allow Utilities the opportunity to decide after receiving bids if they want to proceed with the additional work. CONCURRENCES Community Development Department has given this project a categorical exemption. FISCAL IMPACT These sewer improvements will be funded by monies from the Collection System Improvements Main account. Projects currently scheduled for replacement will be pushed out as needed to accommodate this work.
