November 22, 2022 – On Monday night, the Decatur City Council approved a contract with A&R Mechanical for the 2022 Annual Water Main Extension project. Benefits include providing access to City water where it is not otherwise available, and improving fire flow to areas of the City that have inadequate flow. This $1.41 million project is focused in five areas: Berry Dr., Michigan Ave., the Boiling Springs area, South Shores Dr., and Danceland Rd.
- Berry Drive and Michigan Ave. areas: will see improved fire flow and better water quality.
- Boiling Springs area: new accessibility to City water for some blocks, improved water flow, and additional fire hydrants.
- Danceland Road: watermains extended to area not currently served with water.
- South Shores Drive: extended watermains will eliminate the need for long private services in this area.
Work will include the installation of new water mains, fire hydrants, valves, services, traffic control, and associated restoration and sitework. The $1.41 million bid from A&R came in below City engineer’s estimates. It will be funded by water capital funds.
