RUSSELL AVENUE TO S OAK AVENUE) AND (S MAPLE AVENUE - S 2ND
STREET TO S 4TH STREET)
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
BACKGROUND:
This project will utilize Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding to replace
approximately 1,925 feet of existing 4-inch cast iron water main, originally installed in 1914,
with new 8-inch main along S. Maple Avenue and S. 3rd Street. 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, increase firefighting capacity, and provide direct benefits to a HUD-Identified
Low- and Moderate-Income (LMI) population, Census Tract 10.
