For <br />several months we have been receiving numerous complaints on water <br />color and taste from residents served off of water lines on the <br />above mentioned streets. We wish to take emergency action to <br />replace.these lines as the problem is quite severe both from a <br />maintenance standpoint,. due to the need to continually flush the <br />lines as well as from e customer relationship standpoint. <br />ANALYSIS <br />The problem is the age of the water lines. This has become a <br />problem, primarily due to the material of the lines which is <br />galvanized steel pipe. The lines are so corroded the water runs out <br />brown. We have gotten several estimates for the replacement of <br />these lines, the lowest of which was'from Belvedere -Construction in <br />the amount of $19,750.00 which is attached. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />The Department of Utility Services recommends that.the Board of <br />County Commissioners approve this action on an emergency basis -so <br />that we may proceed immediately. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Com- <br />missioner Bird, the Board unanimously approved the <br />emergency replacement of water lines at 6th Avenue <br />and 15th Street by Belvedere Construction Co. in <br />the amount of $19,750. as recommended by staff. <br />63 <br />SSP 20 1988 BOOK 74 FnE 34 7 <br />
