TITLE
A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE TRANSFER OF APPROPRIATED WASTEWATER
FUNDS FROM PROJECTS TO BE DETERMINED (WW1399) TO
EMERGENCY/POINT REPAIR (WWAN03)
ISSUE
Should City Council approve the transfer of $400,000 of available funds from Projects to
be Determined (WW1399) to Emergency/Point Repair (WWAN03)?
RECOMMENDATION
Approval of this Resolution.
BACKGROUND
The Wastewater Department operates and maintains an ever increasing number of
miles of sanitary sewer main. There are more than 470 miles of sanitary sewer main
and more than 8,000 manholes. Whenever a condition is discovered that poses an
imminent threat to public health or property, an emergency repair must be performed to
maintain compliance with environmental laws and to protect citizens. Emergency
conditions are difficult to foresee as are the associated costs to repair them. The cost of
repairing several recent sanitary sewer main breaks in Pueblo will exceed the amount
currently available in the Emergency/Point Repair (WWAN03) project balance. This
proposed transfer of funds will cover these recent breaks and provide resources to deal
with other emergency conditions discovered during 2014.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Funding for this project will be taken from Projects to be Determined (account
WW1399).
