Title
Approval of Point Road Water Line Acceptance
Body
SUMMARY: There is a private existing 2-inch water line approximately 1,600 feet in length along Point Road, which is located off Eldridge Loop, off Genesis Road in the Catoosa Utility area. The property owners along the line and owner of the line are requesting the City take over ownership of the line. It would allow other properties on Point Road to tie on and receive water. City staff has evaluated the line, and all materials used match existing water line standards and several spot digs on the line found the line to be installed properly. The existing line is currently metered and appears to be a sound line with no leaks. There are some minor improvements that would need to be made before the City could take over the line. The total cost of the improvements, which include a 2-inch tap fee, TDEC review, and all labor and materials, equals $3,465.00. This cost would be paid by the property owners requesting the water line take-over. Any future water taps would be at full price. Planning Commission met October 15 and recommends the acceptance of the water line by City Council.
Recommended Action
