Date: March 24, 1992
SUBJECT: Acceptance of a water main extension and fire hydrants across
Lots 5, 6, an �7 -1; r�dmarSdirs%om, (Western Hills Apartments at 230
Raphael AN Ln
BACKGROUND:
By Fire Code, Western Hills Apartments, at 230 Raphael Avenue needed an
adequate source of water for fire protection purposes. It was determined
that the apartment complex needed a fire hydrant. Looping the main
between South Dakota Avenue and Raphael Avenue was, required to get.
adequate flow to this hydrant.
Privately owned and maintained fire hydrants are not desired since it is
questionable whether the hydrant is operational at all times. For this
reason, the City prefers that the water main to this hydrant and fire
hydrant be under the City's control.
The water main and hydrants were installed in a water main easement
across Lots 5, 6, and 7 of Landmark Subdivision. VanHauen and Keller
Construction Co. Inc. installed the water main and fire hydrants according
to City of Ames standard construction specifications.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Accept the water line and fire hydrants for City maintenance as
installed by VanHauen & Keller Construction Co. Inc. for Western
Hills Apartments.
2. Decline the water line and fire hydrant and let them remain under
private control.
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is recommended by the City Manager that the City Council adopt alter-
native number 1, thereby accepting the water line and fire hydrants for
City maintenance as installed by VanHauen & Keller Construction Co. Inc.
for Western Hills Apartments.
