Summary
The Weiss Lane and Pecan Street Water Line projects requires acquisition of a water pipeline easement and temporary access and construction easement necessary to construct the project. The City’s property acquisition consultant, LJA Engineering, and city staff have negotiated with the property owner for the necessary easement. The cost of $185,806 was agreed upon, subject to City Council approval, based on appraisals obtained by the City.
