Background:
On Wednesday, November 9, 2022, a 16” water transmission line unexpectedly failed. This transmission line provides service to the northern part of the city water system. Staff was able to isolate a section of the water line without disrupting water service to any customers.

The cost to repair this waterline break was $72,970.00 and is itemized in the attached invoice.
Financial Impact:
The repair costs will be paid from the Public Works - Water Distribution operations budget with funding provided by the Water & Wastewater Utility fund. A year-end budget amendment may be required for this emergency repair.
Legal Review:
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved this item.
