PUBLIC WORKS PROJECTS <br />Department: Water <br />Item: <br />Year(s): <br />Cost: <br />Old Highway 8 NW & County Road D Watermain Upgrade <br />2009 – Phase 1 (from Long Lake Park Entrance to Highway 96) [Completed] <br />2019 – Phase 2 County Road D (Over 35W) <br />2026 – Phase 3 (from Highway 96 to Mounds View border) <br />2027 – Phase 4 (from Rice Creek to Old Highway 8 at Mounds View border) <br />Completed – Phase 1 <br />$340,000 – Phase 2 <br />$520,000 – Phase 3 <br />$320,000 – Phase 4 <br />Description: As part of the Old Highway 8 Reconstruction project, a 12-inch watermain was <br />constructed from I-694 and extended past the Long Lake Regional Park entrance. In 2009, 2,800 <br />linear feet of watermain was directionally drilled along the west side of Old Highway 8 to south of <br />Applewood Point just north of Highway 96. The remainder of the loop will be coordinated with <br />future phase construction projects. During the 2017 Utility Rate Analysis, Phases 2-4 were <br />pushed back 5 years. <br />Justification: Currently, the only watermain servicing the entire NE portion of the City is an 8- <br />inch cast iron watermain installed in 1963. Some of the industrial businesses along the Old <br />Highway 8 NW corridor have experienced low flow alarms when the 8-inch is disrupted. Given <br />our current system demand from the industrial park located north of Highway 96, a new hotel at <br />Highway 96 which opened in 2009, and the future water demand of the Northwest Quadrant area, <br />it is strongly recommended the 8-inch pipe be upgraded to a 12-inch pipe. <br />Page 14
