SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 43, SERIES 2025 <br />DATE: JULY 8, 2025 PAGE 2 OF 3 <br />Asbestos Concrete (AC) water mains in the City. These lines will be replaced with the <br />City's standard 8-inch PVC water main used in residential areas. <br />This upgrade will significantly improve water flow capacity and system reliability, while <br />also extending the service life of the infrastructure. Once complete, the likelihood of <br />main breaks in the area will be substantially reduced. <br />Work will take place in the following areas: <br />➢ Aline St. <br />➢ Barbara St. <br />➢ Rose St. <br />➢ Louis Dr. <br />In addition to replacing water mains this year, operations have identified several <br />residents that experience backwater issues with their sewer system during sewer main <br />line cleaning and jetting. The City has elected to install backwater prevention valves at <br />these residences (with the approval of the homeowners) to mitigate the backwater <br />issue. Due to the Water Main Replacement being the only pipe replacement project <br />requiring excavation this year, Sanitary Sewer Backwater Preventers will also be <br />installed with this project. The Sanitary Sewer Backwater Preventers will be installed at <br />the following addresses: <br />➢ 317 Roosevelt Ave. <br />➢ 732 Mead St. <br />➢ 721 Mead St. <br />➢ 1101 Spruce St. <br />ANALYSIS: <br />Staff is requesting Council's approval of this contract as required by the City's <br />purchasing policy for contracts in excess of $100,000. <br />2025 COUNCIL WORK PLAN: <br />While this project is not specifically listed in the 2025 Council Work Plan, it does align <br />with the Council priority of providing core services. Maintenance of the water distribution <br />system is critical to the goal of providing water service to the residents of Louisville. <br />FISCAL IMPACT: <br />The costs of the 2025 Water Main Replacement and Sanitary Sewer Backwater <br />Preventer Valve Project are included in the budget and divided between the following <br />funds: <br />Projected Funding <br />Description <br />Waterline Replacement <br />Sewer Service Lateral Backflow Valves <br />Account Budget <br />Amount <br />501498-660181 $1,698,000 <br />502499-640159 $130,000 <br />CITY COUNCIL COMMUNICATION <br />23 <br />
