DISCUSSION/ACTION (IF ANY) ON EMERGENCY WATER LINE/DRAINAGE WILLOWCREEK & RUSSELL - City Engineer City Manager Ryan explained that this is the third tiMe we have had a water break at Russell and Wi I lowcreek. There is drainage problem which is causing the line to break and it happens every tiMe we have a heavy rain. Since this last break we have discovered that part of drainage inlet is under the sidewalk and this was not known when this was repaired previously. Something is going to have to be done to repair the drainage probleM and this will alleviate the break in the water line. - City Engineer Kelley explained that at this time they don't know the extent of the total probleM. SOMe grouting should be started so the area can be stabalized and then they need to do some borings in the areas surrounding the inlet so they will know how to proceed. He estiMated the cost of the borings to be about $1500 to $2000. COMmissioner Bateman stated another concern was the sidewalk. City Engineer Kelley will have an updated report at Tuesday's meeting. John Cockrell and Buddy Elmore were in agreeMent with the engineer and explained the problems they have had in trying to repair the drainage problem along with the water breaks. 1 - Page 2 Special Session City Commission October 16, 1986 Commissioner Hager explained that those homes had been built in that area after 15 years of dry weather and now the problems are beginning to surface with the several years of wet weather we have been experiencing.
