<br />Option two is to incorporate the work of hooking the water service to each home's water system into the <br />City contract. As mentioned above, this would require waivers from each homeowner. On the upside, the <br />homeowners can include this work on their assessment (which is often tax deductible) and finance it over <br />several years. It also gets everyone hooked up in one fail swoop. Construction is done and over with in <br />one season and the neighborhood would be back to normal by the spring. <br /> <br />The homes in these areas are serviced by individual wells. Theses wells should be abandoned. The city may <br />elect to have this abandonment be part of the project or to leave this responsibility to the homeowner in the <br />same manner as stated above. . <br /> <br />Lots not yet connected to the City's water system can be seen highlighted in yellow in Figure 2. <br /> <br />BOLT REPLACEMENT <br /> <br />In the late nineties, the City began requiring all water main fittings to be installed with corrosion resistant <br />bolts. These fittings include valves, bends, tees, and hydrants among others. This policy was invoked due <br />to several bolt failures which appeared to be caused by corroded bolts. These bolts were likely <br />compromised by cathodic conditions in the City's predominately clayey soils. <br /> <br />Water main installed before the corrosion resistant bolts were specified exists below streets proposed to be <br />rehabilitated with this project, If the city wishes to take a proactive approach to dealing with this issue, <br />they could choose to replace all bolts on existing fittings which fall under streets proposed for rehabilitation. <br /> <br />Sidewalk Improvements <br /> <br />Several streets proposed for rehabilitation have existing sidewalks, while others do not. The City has <br />recently contracted for repairs to the existing sidewalks throughout town, Therefore, sidewalk maintenance <br />will not be a part of this contract. Of the streets which do not have sidewalks, some do not necessarily <br />need them, while it makes sense to install them on other streets. <br /> <br />Figures 2-7 show the existing and proposed sidewalks. <br /> <br />City of Centerville <br />2009 Street and Utility Improvement !''''Iect <br /> <br />.tt Bonestroo <br /> <br />Project No: 616-07-1580 <br />Page 14 <br />
