2022 Utility Reconstruction
The project is currently in the design phase and includes replacement of sanitary sewer (including a portion of the connected services to properties), water main (including the water services up to the curb stop for each property), and storm sewer (as needed). Once all the utility work is complete, the curb and gutter will be replaced and street paved.
In all, the 2022 Utility Project includes the following streets:
• Florida Ave./31st Ave. from Hampshire Ave. to 30th Ave., generally the 3000 block of Florida Ave. and the 6500 through 6600 block of 31st Ave.
• Edgewood Ave. from 29th Ave. to 30th Ave.
• Edgewood Ave. cul-de-sac from 32nd Ave. to the south.
Project Timeline:
• Winter 2021 - 2022 design
• Winter 2022 - Spring 2022 bidding/contract award
• Spring 2022 – Fall 2022 construction

Project Funding
It is the city council’s intent to not special assess property owners, nor borrow money, to pay for these utility reconstruction projects. Instead, the utility reconstruction program is paid for primarily from water, sanitary sewer and storm sewer utility funds, which are maintained through the utility bills paid by residents and businesses. The other major source of funding is from the street maintenance fund, which is maintained primarily by property taxes, as well as state aid funding.
As part of the city’s project, private property owners can have their sanitary sewer service pipe repaired through an OPTIONAL program paid entirely by the property owner.
