recorded presentation.
Water Main Replacement
- Orkney Drive from Sunset Road to Culver Road
-
Culver Road from Orkney Drive to Orkney Drive
- Fountain Street from Culver Road to 200 feet west
The existing water main beneath these streets is undersized and will be replaced with a new 8-inch water main. New fire hydrants will be installed to increase fire suppression coverage. Individual pressure reducing valves (PRVs) in the area will not be affected and will still be needed.
Since the current road condition does not qualify for resurfacing, only the curb and asphalt that is removed for the water main will be replaced. After the project, a surface treatment will be applied to the entire road to achieve a uniform look and smoother ride. The surface treatment is currently planned for Spring of 2025 through the annual Preventive Maintenance Program.
Water Main Consolidation and Road Resurfacing
- Huron View Boulevard from North Main Street to 200 feet west of the cul-de-sac.
The two existing 16-inch water mains will be consolidated to one, larger water main. Individual pressure reducing valves (PRVs) in the area will not be affected and will still be needed. The entire road within the project limits above will be resurfaced with new asphalt. Some curb and driveway approaches will be replaced as needed for water main installation and paving.
Storm Sewer Rehabilitation
- Boardwalk Drive between railroad and Ann Arbor Public Schools bus parking lot.
The banks near a drainage culvert have eroded and need to be repaired. The banks will be regraded and reinforced with rip rap. A large inlet will also be installed to receive storm water and alleviate the erosion.
Funding
- Orkney and Culver water main installation, necessary curb replacement, and asphalt paving will be paid from Water Funds. The surface treatment applied after the project will be paid for by Road funds.
- Huron View water main installation will be paid from Water Funds. Repaving will be paid for by Road Funds.
- Storm system rehabilitation will be paid for by Storm Funds.
- No funding directly from residents will be required for this project.
