My name is Leon Wilson and I'm the project manager with the water department. So, for today's agenda, we have introductions, a project overview. Show you the project area and go over some frequently asked questions for the project. So, once again, my name is Leon Wilson. My phone number is 817. 392 2387. My email is Leon. Wilson and 4, Texas. Our engineer design consultant is Donovan associates and the project manager for Donovan way is Brian share of. Thank you, Brian. So this this exhibit shows the several. Streets that are on the project, the South North side, the basic areas. The project, though, excuse me is existing water and sewer mains will be replaced in an area South of East North side drive. West of cold springs, right? And you need Pacific River North of East Belknap Street in East of the West for Trinity River. This project is in City Council District 9 and impacts the Fort Worth downtown neighborhood alliance. So, I look several slides, which show the various streets included on the project on this slide. You see is Northeast 14th Street from Samuels Avenue to Woods Avenue, which will include water and sewer improvements. Northeast 13th Street from Samuels Avenue to Woods Avenue. Who's water and sewer as well? What's Avenue from East North side drive to 13th Street to sewer. Northeast 12th Street from Samuels Avenue to Woods Avenue is water and sewer. Northeast 11th Street from Samuels Avenue to Woods Avenue is water and sewer. The next section is the easement. It's the easement South North Park Drive from Samuels Avenue to Trinity River. If you see the exhibit that goes through a private property under the parking lot, that improvement will not be open cut. It will be made from the interior of the pipe. So, just for anyone who was wondering that area shown there will be made from the inside of the pipe. It's worth the improvements. The next area is Pavilion Street from Samuels Avenue to Woods Avenue, which is water sewer. What's Avenue from Pavilion Street to Grill Street with the sewer. Grill Street from Samuels Avenue to Woods Avenue, water and sewer. Samuels Avenue from Grill Street to approximately 170 feet north of Mayfield Street sewer. And Mayfield Street from Samuels Avenue to Woods Avenue, water and sewer. And the final project area is Mayfield Street from Samuels Avenue to Woods Avenue, which is water and sewer. Clear Lake Street from Cold Springs Road to the northern dead ends, whose water. There's an easement between Mayfield Street and Cold Springs Road from Clear Lake Street to Woods Avenue, which is sewer. Garbage Street from Cold Springs Road to Eastern Dead End, water and sewer. And the easement east of North Hampton Street from Peacht Street to Belknap Street to sewer. So, why are we doing this project? Forward proprisers water and sewer line replacements based on available dialogue, which includes the water main break history, leak history. CCTV, which is closed circuit TV inspection, age of the line, the line of material and whether they're less services. In this instance, the project was created to replace deteriorated sanitary sewer mains and water mains. So, do you replace the water line up to my house? We replaced the city owned service. Water meter in the meter box and also it includes street repair. So generally the water line is in the street and from there, there is a smaller service line from the water line. It goes to the meter. Which is usually on the frontage of the property and then that goes into your home. So, we will replace the line in the street on the streets that have water improvements. The service from the line to the meter and the water meter itself. Will you need an access? We need to access our property if an easement is needed. You should have been or will be notified. If, if your property is one that requires access, the contractor will provide a right of entry letter to the property owner and then upon approval, the contractor will access the property. Will our sewer service be disrupted? Sanitary sewer service would not be interrupted. The new sewer clean house will be installed at the property line and the sewer cleanup provides crews and easy access of a backup or blockage occurs in the service line. Will our water be turned off? I water returned off for approximately 15, 30 minutes when the service is transferred from the existing line line is being replaced to a temporary line. And when the service is transferred, it'll be cut off again when it's transferred from temporary line to the new line. And the photo kind of shows an example of a temporary line. They're above ground is temporary just to allow us to reconstruct the water line if you live in the street and maintain water service to the various properties. Out of the temporary line and impact my home and water bill temporary water line ensures that you are not without water during construction. As I just mentioned, water must continually. Excuse me, water must be continually flowing through the temporary line, which is above ground during the widow months to keep the line for freezing. Customer should also keep their faucets tripping in the summer months. The continuous flow keeps the water from becoming stagnant in the above ground line. The bill for your water usage while you are on a temporary line is based on the average of the previous months usage for that particular meter. So, what happens if my property is damaged contractor would take pictures and video the property before the construction begins. We also encourage property owners to take pictures and video of their property before construction starts. The contract that we were started property to his original condition, if there's any damaged or. You know, if the construction is caused any issues on your property. What a construction affect me irrigation the contractor will ask property owners to turn on the irrigation system so sprinkler heads can be located and flagged contractor has to count the irrigation line before construction starts. The contract we're placed to capture damaged irrigation systems before construction is completed. So, a basic timeline is mentioned. This is the design meeting. So, we're still in the process of designing the project, but the next step. The next steps include advertising the project for bids for construction, opening bids city council approved with the war to bid to the contractor. A pre construction means the contractor inspector, a well, this community construction meetings up those impacted by the project similar to this meeting. And construction start right now, we're planning to start construction on this project by mid to late spring of next year 2022. So, where can you get more information? The progress will be updated on the city of Fort Worth website. I'm at the website, Sean's link on the screen.

You can report sewer overflows, leaks, water main breaks, missing and broken meter lids, water theft, water violations, no water surface, water pressure issues and any other sewer concerns at the my footwork app. So that concludes my presentation. And I think Sally, I saw several check questions pop up. Could you read those and we can start on Anderson has to her 1st is, are we talking water interruptions for the properties in Samuels Avenue? And if so, how long. What awarding through Russian to set up the temporary is 30 approximately 30 minutes. So that section of Samuels approximately between grid may feel. Yes, if they're a receiving service from that borderline. That would be a temporary interruption to set up the temporary water service during construction. Okay, her 2nd question is when water is turned off to reconstruct. How much notice will be will we be give will we be able to give our tenants. Donna, you may want to elaborate. This is a apartment complex or. It's a 40 generally it's a 48 hour notice. Before the water services interrupted. To turn off the water. Okay, so I just want to just confirm. So you're going to give. The properties, not just mine, they're in that little area. 48, 48 hours notice that this is going to. Take place correct 48 hours before you get off service. Yes, the contractor when. When he is ready and at that point will give these citizens. In that area that would be affected a 48 hour notice. And I think it's usually a door hanger with state staff. When that shut off will, will be. Okay, so when you say that there's a door notice. Are you going to be individually hand delivering those door notices to all, let's say my unit's 272. I'm not sure if apartments, I'd have to check on that, Donna. I know for the most part. A lot of times we deal with single residents, single family homes. With the apartment complexes. Well, we won't be going to every unit. We probably will coordinate with your office. Correct. Correct. I mean, and that's how it needs to be. I'm just trying to make sure that we have enough ample time, especially if it's a pre-planned. Event that we're going to be doing. Requirement by the Texas apartment association is that we give them 48 hour notice of any intent. So we would work with your office person at that site. And to let them know, keep them in understanding when we're going to cut that water off. Okay. Thank you. Donna, just out of curiosity, what's the name of that property? It's Rockland at Samuels. What's your address for that property? 632 Samuels Avenue. Those are all the questions in chat. Does anybody else have questions for Leon? Do we have anybody on here from DFW? I don't think they're on the call. Okay. Kent Bogle, do you have any questions? Okay. I don't think they're on the call. Okay. Kent Bogle, do you have any questions? No, I do not. Okay. But thank you. And you're welcome. I think that's answered everything I was wondering about. And like Leon said, we will come back prior to construction beginning. And have a second meeting because things can change between here and then. So we will have more information at that time about the timeline. If you have any questions, just email us. And we'll get those answered for you as quickly as we can. Thank you. Thank you.
