(KAIR)--Design work is set to begin for water main replacements in the City of Atchison.
That follows a unanimous vote of the Atchison City Commission during the Commission’s December 16 meeting.
According to a release from the City of Atchison, that vote means the start of design work, followed by actual construction in the spring.
The City’s 2020 Capital Improvement Plan includes $500,000 budgeted for water main replacement work.
According to the release, the scope of work for this project is engineering design services for approximately 4,100 feet of water main replacement. Staff expects design work to last 60-90 days with construction to follow. Eight city blocks are included in the project.
Segments were selected because of the condition issues previously identified and how they interrelate to other improvements, specifically the 2020 mill and overlay program and Phase II of the Dam 6 Sewer Separation Project. All segments selected are undersized metallic pipes installed in post World War II developments that suffer frequent breaks.
Lawrence based BG Consultants was awarded the $31,000 design contract.
