Title
Discussion and action on Carson Road Water Line Extension - Catoosa
Body
SUMMARY: Fred Stout is requesting a 4 inch water line be extended down Carson Lane, approximately 1400 feet. Under the City’s Mainline Extension Ordinance, the owner/developer will be required to pay for the main line extension at 100% cost (Labor & Materials). City Staff has probed the area for rock and developed an estimate for the total cost of the project at $15,730. Staff recommends a financial guarantee from Mr. Stout in this amount. Once the project is complete, Mr. Stout will be refunded any remaining monies not utilized for this project. Mr. Stout has indicated that he would like to open up the trench for the installation and City crews perform all other work.
Catoosa Advisory Council met August 21 and agreed to recommend the extension, with the City’s stipulations. Planning Commission met August 26 and voted to recommend approval of the water line extension, with the developer/property owner paying 100% cost, as required in the Water and Sewer Line Extension Policy, and with liability for the work being done to be clarified.
In regard to the liability issues, the City’s Policy for Water and Sewer Line Extension does allow for a developer to install the line themselves. A copy of the policy is attached. Please see page 4, Outside City of Crossville, section “d.” The portion in regard to the customer electing to do the install themselves has been highlighted.
The Director of Engineering recommends the approval of the waterline extension and recommends any liability documents required by the City Attorney be acquired.
Recommended Action
NECESSARY COUNCIL ACTION: Approve the request.
