5 issues in water utilities with medium priority
Redundant city fiber optic connection
The city is spending about $110,000 on a backup fiber optic route so city computer networks don't go down if the main line is cut.
Windy Pine Way drainage erosion repair
Erosion around a culvert on Windy Pine Way, fed by stormwater from the Preserve at Oviedo on the Park, is being repaired with erosion-control block and turf mats for about $80,000 total.
West Mitchell Hammock Water Tank Change Order
Leaking valves, electrical changes, and coating adjustments added $119,898 to the new 2.5-million-gallon water storage tank project, plus a $50,000 contingency.
Alafaya Woods Pipe Replacement Change Order
Workers found a wastewater effluent pipe just inches from the stormwater pipe being replaced, so the city is paying an extra $68,949.50 to relocate it for safety clearance.
EPA Grant for Percolation Pond Decommissioning
The city will apply for $900,000 in federal EPA funding, chipping in $225,000, to decommission its percolation ponds and build a reject water pumping station and force main to Orlando's Iron Bridge wastewater plant.
