PROJECT INFORMATION:
Evanston has experienced considerable growth and is nearing the capacity
of its water supply system. The city presently has adequate raw water supply
and reservoir storage. A major problem is the demand for treated water to
irrigate parks, ball field and other large green areas. The 1997 Level II
study evaluated conceptual designs and cost estimates to construct a raw water
pipeline and upgrade the towns existing wells. The cost estimates show the
total project cost to be $1,481,000.
The City of Evanston received a 1998 grant and loan appropriation in the amount
of $1,500,000 from Water Development Account I. The grant is for 60% of the
WWDC eligible project costs with a 40% loan at 7 1/4% interest rate over 20
years. The project scope includes the construction and installation of pumps
and enclosures, secondary irrigation distribution piping, primary filters and
irrigation transmission lines. The project is to be designed and constructed
in two phases. With Phase I to address secondary irrigation systems to large
users south of the Bear River, including the golf course, high school and
elementary schools plus the cemetery on the north side of the Bear River. The
Phase II portion of the project will provide secondary irrigation systems to
the fairgrounds, Hamblin and Railroad Parks and the North Evanston elementary
school north of the Bear River.
A contract with Sunrise Engineering has been negotiated by the city for project
design and construction administration services for the Phase I project. Phase
I project construction is scheduled to begin in the summer of 1999.
RECOMMENDED LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
No legislative action is required.
