ITEM I

Re: Pre-servicing for Water and Scwer under Mary Hill By-Pass

In order to provide water and sanitary sewer service to the
industrial area south of the Mary Hill By-Pass it will eventually be
necessary to place water and sewer mains across this highway. One
crossing for each service is required at Coast Meridian Road and another
one at Broadway. As we anticipate that it would be very difficult to get
approval from the Department of Highways for trenches acress the new
highway once it 1s completed, it is our intention to install casings for
water and sewer prior to completion of the highway so that they can be
utilized at a later date.

Funds for these casings have been included in the 1980
Provisional Budget. However, we have been informed by the Department of
Highways that we should have these installed prior to the completion of
the base course on the highway. This means that we will have to do our
work in March or April of 1980. To meet this schedule it will be
necessary to obtain approval for these items immediately.

The Committee recommends that funds in the amount of $8,000
for sewer and $6,000 for water be approved to come out of the 1980 budget
and that the City proceed with the design and installation of the pre-
ducting for the water and sewer crossings at the two locations.

Respectfully submitted,

F.E. Peters, P. Eng.,
City Engineer
