The 34 streets were constructed in 1960 and currently the sanitary sewer has clay pipes which have 35 joints. The joint material does decay over time and becomes very brittle and cracks. The new 36 materials are PVC pipes which will last up to 100 years. The water main is currently iron and 37 there have been a lot of water main breaks. As it is replaced, it will be wrapped in plastic for 38 additional protection and expected to last up to 100 years. 39 40 Mayor Faust stated this is the first meeting of seven meetings. 41 42 Motion by Councilmember Stille, seconded by Councilmember Brever, to approve Resolution 43 16-061; a Resolution Receiving Feasibility Report and Ordering Plans and Specifications for the 44 2017 Street and Utility Improvement Project. 45 46 Motion carried 5-0 47 4
