EMERGENCY DESIGNATION: Emergency designation is not requested at this time.

By replacing the piping, we are reducing the amount of patching required to the piping. This replacement will also reduce the chance of a digester gas (methane) leak into the atmosphere.
FISCAL IMPACT: This ordinance authorizes the appropriation of $941,775.00 from the Unallocated Balance of Fund 6109; the transfer within and the expenditure of $941,775.00 from the Sanitary Sewer General Obligation Bond Fund, Fund 6109 and amends the 2019 Capital Improvements Budget.
