PROJECT TITLE: Morrisville Merger - Water Line Oversizings

RESPONSIBLE DEPARTMENT: Engineering

PROJECT FUNDING: $100,000

FIRST YEAR ESTIMATED OPERATING COSTS: None

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

This annual project provides funding for reimbursements to developers for the cost of water lines installed to serve needs beyond those of their individual projects.

PROJECT JUSTIFICATION:

The Town of Cary and Town of Morrisville utility systems merged effective April 1, 2006. As a tenet of the merger, Cary is responsible for managing the merged system. Current Town of Cary policy allows developers to be reimbursed for the cost difference between installing infrastructure that serves only their needs and installing infrastructure that meets the Town’s need to serve areas outside of the development. Reimbursements to developers are made upon completion and acceptance of the oversized lines. The water line oversizings capital project is growth-related and will increase the Town’s utility service area.

PROJECT LOCATION:

This project will occur in various locations within the portion of the Town of Cary’s utility system that lies within the Town of Morrisville.
