Statement of Purpose

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE:  The purpose of this resolution is to authorize a license agreement with the BNSF Railway Company to allow the City to install a new 8 inch HDPE water main within a new 16 inch steel casing under the tracks at 59th Avenue West.  This line will replace an existing line in 59th which is deteriorated and has had numerous leaks, causing a lot of maintenance problems to the Department and neighboring businesses.  Construction of the new line will be in conjunction with an overall street improvement project planned for later this year.
