HomeMy WebLinkAboutPR 18882: WATER UTILITIES EASEMENT, PORT ARTHUR HOUSING AUTHORITY MEMORANDUM • CITY OF PORT ARTHUR UTILITY OPERATIONS DEPARTMENT TO: Brian McDougal, City Manager FROM: Jimmie Johnson, Ph.D., Director of Utility Operations DATE: March 17, 2015 RE: Proposed Resolution No. 18882 RECOMMENDATION I recommend that the City Council approve Proposed Resolution No. 18882, which accepts a Water Utilities Easement from Port Arthur Housing Authority for the purpose of installing, maintaining, operating, and replacing public water utilities on a portion of their property to serve the proposed Terminal Road Elevated Water Storage Tank. BACKGROUND The proposed Terminal Road Elevated Water Storage Tank will include mechanical and electrical facilities that may require maintenance by City of Port Arthur or other personnel. Therefore, sanitary sewer(restroom) facilities will be needed. In order to provide sanitary sewer service, a booster pump station will be located on the second floor of the structure and a sanitary sewer lift station will be required. The existing sanitary sewer lines nearest to the proposed Terminal Road Elevated Water Storage Tank are located at the intersection of DeWalt Avenue and 14th Street, adjacent to Carver Terrace Apartments, property owned by Port Arthur Housing Authority. Carver Terrace Apartments will be demolished and the property will remain a"Green Space". Consequently, a fifteen-foot (15') utility easement through the Carver Terrace property is necessary to allow for the installation of a two-inch (2") force main to discharge sewer from the proposed Terminal Road Elevated Water Storage Tank into the City's existing sanitary sewer manhole at the intersection of DeWalt Avenue and 14th Street. BUDGET/FISCAL EFFECT None. STAFFING/EMPLOYEE EFFECT The City staff will coordinate and oversee all public sewer system construction within this easement. We will coordinate the work with the contractor upon acceptance by the City Council. SUMMARY I recommend that the City Council approve P.R. No. 18882 for the acceptance of a Water Utilities Easement from Port Arthur Housing Authority, on their property, Carver Terrace Apartments, for utilities maintenance as a result of the installation of a two-inch (2") force main for the proposed Terminal Road Elevated Water Storage Tank.
