ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Siegel
| am certainly in favor of doing this but it brought a question to my mind. We are going to be paving a good
deal of roads and underneath that those roads are going to be obviously sewer lines. One of the things that
happened here is this sewer line was unexpected and so | understand that but are we going to scope the
sewer lines underneath the new paving that we are doing to make sure that we don’t all of sudden find out that
we’ve got a problem and we have to re-do it?
Alderman Deane
That’s the practice that is used. The utilities are all contacted and they are given their, along with the
homeowners, whether it be natural gas or whatever the case may be; everybody is contacted and then public
works sends out the sewer and stormwater scope to see if any replacement work has to be done before the
paving starts. This is a yearly; $419,000 for the size of this city is a drop in the bucket when you look at the
amount of failing stormwater and sewer lines we have. They do go through a rigorous inspection prior to
paving.
Alderman Siegel
Thank you, | appreciate that. Again, | don’t have a problem with this expense, | understand where it comes
from, again, it just touched off a question that | had.
