Hello city water project (BRWAA) participant.
As you may already know, the construction of the city water project is set to begin this Monday, May 13th. Details regarding the construction schedule can be found on the village web site at this address: http://www.bayside-wi.gov/?
For the construction of the private laterals for all the homes with the best pricing possible, we have chosen to go with Debelak plumbing. They have a great reputation in this area and have provided us with fixed pricing for the private service laterals for the homes. The pricing for the laterals (up to and including the meter horn and meter) is $1,500 for a clear-cut installation, and $1,750 for the directional bore installation. We feel for many reasons that the directional bore option is far superior to the clear cut option, and well worth the extra cost. It is important to note that this pricing only covers the installation of the private service lateral up to and including the meter horn and water meter. Additional plumbing will be needed after the meter horn to hook up the new water supply to the house. Debelak is available to provide this additional plumbing if you would like them to, in addition to the private service lateral installation, and they can propose the pricing for you to complete the entire hook up to your home, during their initial visit to your home (more on this below).
The first step in the lateral installation process involves a visit by Debelak to each home (before construction of the water lines in your street) so they can work with each homeowner in order to determine the best possible placement of the public curb stop. It is in each homeowner’s best interest to place the curb stop in the most optimal place possible, so that the entry of the lateral inside the home can be put where it is best suited for the home. Ideally, if the curb stop is placed in the proper spot outside the home, it should minimize the private plumbing costs once inside the home.
We have been working with Kevin Gill from Debelak plumbing to facilitate this process. In order to visit the 142 homes in the BRWAA as efficiently as possible, he has proposed blocking out a single day and visit as many homes as they can on that day. He chose a Saturday, to give the best possible chance for folks to be home, and blocked out timeslots by street for which he would visit the homes on that particular street.
The day chosen for this is Saturday, May 18th 2013
The timeslots by street for the 18th of Saturday are as follows. If your home is on the corner of two streets, figure the earlier of the two possible time slots will be used for your home visit.
7:30am – 9:30am: N. Iroquois Rd
8:30am – 11:00am: N. Mohawk and W. Krause
10:30am – 12:00pm: W. Ellsworth Ln
11:30am – 2:30pm: N. Santa Monica, N. Regent Rd, Marti Ct, and Malibu Dr
1:30pm – 3:00pm: W. Glencoe Pl
2:30pm – 4:00pm: N. Seneca Rd and N. Navajo Rd
A map showing these timeslots can be found here: https://docs.google.com/file/
If someone can be home during these hours to allow Debelak access to your home on that day, then no further action is needed on your part, and someone from Debelak will show up at your home on that day within those hours. They will only need to spend 10 to 15 minutes per home. During this time they will visit the basement of your house, and work with you to determine what your private plumbing needs are and where best to place the entry of the lateral and meter horn inside the home. They will also work out a plan for your additional plumbing for the city water hook up, and provide you with pricing for that interior plumbing work. They will then mark the curb stop location with a steak in the ground outside your home, and then move on to the next home.
If you know that you cannot be home during these hours on May 18th, please call Debelak at (262) 251-2630 to schedule an appointment for some other time.
As always, if you have any questions please feel free to contact me (Howard) at this email address: northwaywater@gmail.com .
Thank you much, and I hope all is well.
