Water system renewal includes approximately 3,640 linear feet of 8-inch and 12-inch water main along with service lines to individual properties. Wastewater system renewal includes approximately 6,600 linear feet of 8-inch wastewater main and appurtenances.

An allowance is an amount that is specified and included in the construction contract or specifications for a certain item(s) of work when details are not determined at the time of bidding. Due to the potential for encountering unknown subsurface conditions, a 10% contingency in funding has been included to allow for the expeditious processing of any change orders to cover any unforeseen construction costs associated with the project.
