City of Oak Creek

Common Council Report

 

Meeting Date:  September 21 2004

 

Item No.:        

 

Recommendation:  That the Common Council adopts Resolution No. 10403-092104, accepting a water main easement for the Water Utility’s transmission main project (4th Aldermanic District).

 

Background:  The easement is necessary for the installation of a transmission water main outside of existing street rights-of-way.  This easement provides for a crossing of We Energies property east of 15th Avenue.  The alignment chosen minimizes the street excavation and associated disruptions and pavement patches.  This also reduces the overall construction costs.  This water main is identified in stage 1 of the Utility’s master plan and is needed to reinforce the existing water main network, improve reliability, and reduce increasing pumping costs by providing a lower resistance path within the network. 

 

The Oak Creek Water & Sewer Utility is preparing to install a transmission main from Chicago Road to Nicholson Road to connect to a transmission main recently installed in Nicholson Road. 

 

There are no special assessments for this project because it is a transmission main project and benefit will generally not be received by abutting property owners.  The Water and Sewer Utility will fund the project.  The proposed water main route is depicted on the attached map.

 

Fiscal Impact:  None.
