In addition, the program coordinates and includes wastewater lines in poor condition and in need of replacement within the project area. This project consists of the replacement of existing water and wastewater mains located within the Barton Hills Horseshoe Bend area, on Barton Skyway, Barton Parkway, Arpdale Street, De Verne Street, Wilke Drive, and Airole Way. The water system renewal includes approximately 9,451 linear feet of 8-inch and 12-inch water mains along with service lines to individual properties and associated appurtenances. The wastewater system renewal includes approximately 515 linear feet of 8-inch sanitary sewer lines, manholes, and service lines to individual properties.

A contingency is an additional amount of money added to the construction budget to cover any unforeseen construction costs associated with the project. By authorizing the additional contingency funding, Council is authorizing any change orders within the contingency amount. The project proposes lane closures and/or detours. The contractor will install appropriate traffic detour signs and barricades to direct traffic.

Residents will be notified at least 48 hours in advance of planned service interruptions.
