DISCUSSION
Background
The Municipal Utilities Department (MUD) operates and maintains the North wastewater pump station and the Bonniebrook storm water pump station, both located in the Swenson Park golf course on Alexandria Place. Access to the pump stations is provided through the golf course parking lot to an existing paved roadway.
The existing roadway exceeded its lifecycle, much of the pavement is broken and potholed, and there are tree roots pushing up through the roadway in several places. It is essential that the roadway be in serviceable condition to maintain access to these two vital pump stations. These improvements will ensure access to the pump stations is reliable and safe. This project is identified in the FY 2016-2021 Capital Improvement Plan as one of the Sanitary Pump Station Rehabilitation projects.
