3 issues in water utilities with medium priority
Emergency Stormwater Check Valve Repair
A $29,744.32 emergency procurement with DBF Construction was on the agenda to install a 24-inch inline check valve at NE 17th Terrace, likely to prevent flooding or backflow.
Water and Sewer Rate Increases
Water rates would rise 4% and sewer rates 7.5%, continuing the master plan adopted last year — meant to fund infrastructure without borrowing.
Galvanized water line replacements
The city is spending about $497,000 to swap out roughly 6,000 corroding galvanized service lines — the short pipes from the main to your meter — improving water quality and reliability.
