Budget/Fiscal Impact
The current Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) includes a project for the Maxwell, Wakefield & Lutz Water Main Replacement Project (UT-WS-18-03). Funding for the project is included in the approved capital budgets of the Water Supply System and the Street, Bridge and Sidewalk Millage Funds.
Project Description
The existing water mains within Maxwell Avenue, Wakefield Avenue, and Lutz Avenue that will be replaced are in poor condition and do not provide adequate water flow to support the necessary fire protection. This project consists of the installation of approximately 980 feet of new ductile iron pipe within these three dead end streets. In addition, the project will replace some storm sewer structures. After the utility work is completed, the streets will be resurfaced, including the replacement of some curb and gutter. This work is expected to begin in June of 2017 following the end of the school year for Ann Arbor Public Schools, and is scheduled to be completed by the end of August.
