station.

Phase II: Install 6400 feet of force main from Harkey/Broadway to SWEC along
Harkey Road.
Phase II Contingency: Possibly upgrade lift station pumps at West Oaks along
Harkey Road.
Reschedule pumps at Barry Rose Plant (already complete).
Estimated Cost: Phase I - $48,000; Phase 11- $219,100; Total - $267,100 (includes
an allowance for potential lift station pump upgrades, but exact needs still need to
be determined.)
Advantages:
Relieves FM 518 and Walnut Street overcapacity problems that cause sewage
backups into Corrigan and Willowick subdivisons.
No platting or building permit limitation required.
Phase I in place within 90 days of start; Phase II in place by February 2000.
Relieves Corrigan and Willowick manhole overflow problems by intercepting
Albertson's and West Oaks' force main at Harkey Road.
Intercepts Fite Road force main that now goes to South Corrigan and also adds
manhole overflow problems there.
Forty percent of Harkey Road force main improvements have long term use.
Disadvantages:
Flow limits at Barry Rose plant may be exceeded in wet weather (but this is better
than if a manhole overflows).
Phase II can not be operational until SWEC is on-line (projected February 2000).
Voting "Aye" Councilmembers Beckman, Tetens, Wilkins, Berger, and Seeger.
Voting "No" None.
Motion Passed 5 to 0.
