DATE:09-23-25
DEPT:PW
SUBJECT:2024/25 CDBG INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRAM (S RIVERSIDE DRIVE - S
4TH STREET TO LINCOLN WAY)
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
BACKGROUND:
The intent of this project is to utilize Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
funding to replace approximately 1,280 feet of existing 12-inch cast iron water main,
originally installed in 1953, with new 12-inch main along S. Riverside Drive from Lincoln
Way to S. 4th Street. The water main in this location has experienced a significant
number of water main breaks (five since 2018), particularly along the dead-end section
of S. Riverside Drive.
The project will also include installation of new copper water services, some of which will
replace known or suspected lead service lines. These improvements will enhance water
quality, reduce the number of lead service lines, and provide direct benefits to a HUD-
identified Low-and Moderate-Income (LMI) population, specifically Census Tract 10.
City staff has completed plans and specifications for this project with revenue and estimated
expenses as follows:
