 Welcome to the Westport Basin Parallel Relief Sewer Line Virtual Community Design Meeting. Your project manager is Walter Norwood. If you can see the chat, which I don't think the call-in users can. His contact information is there. His number is 817-392-5026. And the link to the project page is also in the chat if you can see that. And I am going to pass this over to Walter. Hello, my name is Walter Norwood, as Sally said. This is the Westport Basin Parallel Relief Sewer Line Virtual Community Design Meeting. This is a design meeting. We haven't completed the project design yet or hired a contractor to construct it. This meeting is to present it to the citizens and get your input. Also, I'm going to do introductions today and talk about the project overview, the project area. And we're going to go over some frequently asked questions. Again, I'm Walter Norwood. My email address is on the screen. Walter.Norwood at Fort Worth, Texas.gov. 817-392-5026. We also have the engineering design consultant from RJN, Chris Brooks, with us. We are doing this project because the existing sewer that serves this area needs to be replaced. And it needs to be increased in size. The existing 36 inch diameter sewer will be replaced with a 40 inch, 48 inch diameter sewer. The 48 inch sewer will parallel the Trinity River as the existing sewer does. A picture, if you can see the screen, shows the approximate route of the sewer line. It begins at Oak Forest Drive and Dennis Drive in Fort Worth, extends to the north and west along Westworth Village and to Crosses White Selmont Road and State Highway 183. It ends near the falls just south of the Naval Air Station. This map shows the Trinity Trails, which we're also paralleling since we're paralleling the river. There are three trailheads involved. The one at Dennis and Oak Forest, the one at the Westworth Village City Hall, and the one at Pumphrey Drive. We're going to divide this project into two parts for construction. The first part goes from Oak Forest to White Selmont Road. The graphics on the screen show the approximate route of the new sewer line. The second part will begin at White Selmont Road and continue on to the north and west. It will cross down Sky Acres Drive and follow the city limits for Westworth Village, crossing the levee and the waterfall area. So this would be the second construction package after we get ready to take bids. We mentioned the trailheads at Oak Forest, Burton Hill Road and Pumphrey Drive that are going to be impacted to some extent by this project. So there will be some temporary closures for the access from the trailheads as we pass through. We're going to try to keep those open as much as possible. Hopefully all the time, but there may be some closures, and we'll provide signage and other information for when those closures are going to occur. We mentioned that this is going to be a 48-inch diameter sewer transmission main. A sewer transmission main are larger pipes, Fort Worth, they're larger than 18 inches, and they're designed to move large quantities of sewage that's collected from the smaller distribution mains to the treatment plant. Large sewer mains are also called interceptors. This main serves Fort Worth, Westworth Village, White Selmont and the Naval Air Station joint reserve base. Your sewer service will not be impacted by this project. We will keep all the sewers working while we're working, and there won't be any disruption in your service. So as I mentioned, this project is still in the design phase. We expect to finalize the design and advertise for bids in 2024 for Part 1. And then meanwhile, we'll continue working on Part 2 and it will be bid separately after that. And we expect it to again in 2025. The construction for each part should last about 18 months. After we select a contractor for each part, we'll have another meeting, another public meeting for you to meet the contractor. We're going to host a second design meeting for Part 1 and Part 2. On the 22nd this coming Monday at the West Worth Village City Hall at 6pm. This will be an in-person meeting. We'll bring drawings and we'll be at the meeting. So you can ask us questions directly and see the drawings we've prepared so far. If you want to get more information about this project, you can go to www.fortworthtexas.gov. Fort Worth Texas is all spelled out. And then you can type in the project number. This project number is 100-836-100836. You can put that project number in the search bar on the home page. The West Fort Basin Parallel Relief Sewer Line should pop up. To get project updates, scroll down to the bottom of the project page and click on subscribe to this page.

So that's the end of this presentation and we are prepared to take your questions. Okay, Walter, I'm going to unmute each of the call-in users one by one. You're not going to know who you are, but this is call-in user two that I'm unmuting. Okay, I'm unmuting call-in user three, four, and five. Anyone has a question? Go ahead and ask it. Do we have any questions? I have a comment that I was unable to get the password to work to attend this online, so I'm having to call in. So I don't know if other people are having that same problem or not. So could you repeat the, our concerns are obviously water pressure and disruption of services. Could you repeat what we need to do if we have a problem during this process? And I know you don't intend for there to be disruptions and problems, but there could be life happens. And so if you could repeat that information, I would like to get that jotted down better. Sure. So I'm assuming you live in Fort Worth. Yes. You can, to report any issues with your water, you can call 817-392-4477. And that will get you to a person to help you. And then the at the Fort Worth app law so we can report things that way. Are you interested in the app from the app store? It's my FW. Thank you. And again, this question. Yes, I live here on Sky Acres. Was Sky Acres the second part of the project? Yes, actually, we are looking at Sky Acres as a route. Or for part 2 of the sewer line. Okay. Is there a projected start date on that? The target date is 2025. Okay. All right. I also want to comment that I also had the same issue with the WebEx. It wasn't working properly on Monday then you said you would have drawings of where this pipeline would go. That's correct. Yes, we'll be at the. At the West Worth Village City Hall and we'll have drawings. Is there anything to share online or email to a resident? We can send you the maps in this presentation. Actually, they're all on that project page. Did you get that link? Did you hear that? Is it that? No, I didn't. I was, I was trying to log on to WebEx and I just decided to call in. Okay. Let me ask you one question first. The meeting password is 10836. And you're saying that one did not work? I'm sorry, what? Right. 10836 did not work? No. Okay. We'll have to contact WebEx because that is the correct password. So we'll do that in the morning. Okay. The Fort Worth website is fortworthtexas.gov. And once you open that, if you go to the top of the page in the search bar, just type in 100836. And that should bring up the West Fork Basin Parallel Relief sewer line. Great. Thank you. Okay. Okay. Any other calling users have questions? Well, I just had an additional question here on, for the project on Skyacres. When you say running Parallel with the Trinity River. Is that going along our street in our backyards? How's that going to work? Well, the existing sewer is actually in your backyard along the base of the levee. And the Corps of Engineers has asked us to move the sewer away from the levee. And so the next closest place where we can find a movement is actually in the road. We're going to run it down the road. Okay. So they, so if it's going in the road and you are correct, the sewer is in our backyard. I've never seen it, but any evidence of it near my neighbors. How will each home be connected to that? Or is that going to be done down the line? Well, what we've discussed is. I can't connect you directly to this 48 inch sewer. But what we're, what we're discussing is building a smaller 8 inch sewer. A collection sewer and connecting that to the 48 inch. At a certain point. So we would build a new sewer for our main and then a new smaller sewer for the residents to connect to. So our backyards wouldn't be disturbed or anything like that. Right. That's correct. Well, all right. You may have to reroute the sewer towards the new sewer in the road. Some people may be connected to the older mains that are in the backyards. We've discussed rerouting it into the street. So your service line may be rerouted. Okay. All right. Well, yeah, that's until 2025. So we'll. We'll tackle that when we get there. I appreciate it. Do we have any other questions? Colin. Maybe I don't have any more questions. I don't know what user them, but I am right now. I'm in the river district. So we're across the river from the actual action. But our neighborhood is concerned, you know, we all want our water pressure to behave and obviously we are sewer lines to work. So. It sounds like this will be an ongoing information gathering as y'all get to the next step. So you're in council district seven, right? Yes. Okay. Okay. Walter, can you go back to the, I'm sorry, you're on the page. I was going to say, I know you guys can't see it, but as he said, it's www.4texas.gov. Then type in the project number 10836. We will have this WebEx video linked to the page by end of day tomorrow by five o'clock tomorrow. So you can actually watch the video since you couldn't see it tonight and please share that with your neighborhood association members and your neighbors so that they know what's going on. You can also, I think we said this, you can also attend the Westworth Village meeting that is in person as Walter said. You can look at the plans. You can ask questions. It'll be the same presentation, but you can ask questions yourself. Okay. Thank you. Walter, do you have anything else? Walter? No, thank you for attending the meeting. And I thank you everybody. Thank you. Good night. Thank you very much.
