PRICE RIVER WATER IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT - Report
Councilmember
Denison reported that Price River Water Improvement District has been
installing water and sewer lines to the new facility being constructed by
Active Re-Entry located along Fairgrounds Road.
Carbon County purchased the material and the District provided the
labor. The District has had to go
back and redo some of the asphalt, as a large bump was left in the road.
The
Hill Subdivision, Dick Lee=s
project, is still progressing. However,
no other information has been received from them regarding a pump station.
Councilmember

Council Agenda for discussion regarding the water line relocations that will
be taking place in Helper in conjunction with UDOT=s
interchange.
19.
WATER TRANSMISSION LINE - Report
Gary
Sonntag reported that Condie Construction has 4 crews working on various
aspects of the Water Transmission Line project that range from installing the
8" and 20" line along Carbonville
September 10, 2002
Road
and installing the 20" high density polyethylene pipe through Castle
Gate, especially through the Utah Power & Light coal pile.
As they proceeded to dig, they found that UP&L=s
12" waterline was in that area and so they had to shift the line over and
make some adjustments, which looks like will work.
They have been pouring concrete control vaults and have had plumbers
piping those vaults. They have
started to install the 20" waterline at 750 North, which is where we make
the turn and bore underneath the tracks heading to the 10 million gallon water
tank. Staff has had discussion
with the Carbon County Road Department regarding their needs and desires with
regard to pavement restoration and believe a solution has been reached.
They encountered an unexpected surprise in one of the drainage culverts
located along Carbonville Road. They
felt it would be easy to tunnel under the concrete box at
2100 North. However, as
they excavated, they found the base of the box to be about
30' wide, which prohibited trying to tunnel through it.
They looked at going around it, but they would run into other
waterlines as well as a gas line. It
was also prohibitive to cut through the box as it was so massive.
The final decision was to bore underneath.
This was not a cheap way to go, but in this case, the best solution.
They bore underneath and placed the 8" and 20" line in a
casing. The road was blocked for
a 24 hour period with only one lane of traffic at a time.
Automatic flaggers and stoplights were used to regulate the traffic.
Crews are also working on service connections and making the
interconnection to the District line at 760 North, or Slaughs Lane.
There is currently a lot of activity in that area.
Meeting
adjourned at 6:46 p.m.
