This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a construction contract with Kenmore Construction for the Blacklick Creek Sanitary Interceptor Sewer Shaft 1 Control Gate project, C.I.P.

This project is necessary to control sanitary water flows that are received from a rapidly developing portion of Franklin County containing high water users. This project will install a gate at Shaft 1 of the Blacklick Creek Sanitary Interceptor Sewer (BCSIS) to control flows originating from the upstream tributary area in real time conditions in order to throttle flows to the hydraulically constrained downstream sewers in the Three Creeks area.
