2023 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 2023 Utility Project includes the following streets:
• Florida Ave. from Medicine Lake Rd. to 30th Ave.
• Idaho Ave. from 30th Ave. to 32nd Ave.
Project Timeline:
• Winter 2022 - 2023 design
• Winter 2023 - Spring 2023 bidding/contract award
• Spring 2023 – Fall 2023 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.
