The Emergency Repair Of The Fire Department Water Main Line
In The Amount Of $39,400 And Appropriating Funds
Background and justification:
The Seward Fire Department Station was built in 1963 and has original plumbing throughout the building
and to the street water main. The volhulteers and staff use the water at the station for drinking, showering,
sanitation, laundry. filling apparatus, and cleaning.
On 08-07-2023 one of our firefighters came into work to discover a main galvanized water line had burst
and was flooding the apparatus bay and down into our basement into the building permit and fire records
room. Many boxes of legal records had to be dried out and scanned to try to preserve their history, and the
water cleanup of the station required many people and hours to complete. We have a temporary fix to the
leak: however, it is believed the repair will not last long and other rust spots are beginning to show signs of
other future leaks to occur.
The two main shut offs for the water to the station are original valves and cannot be turned off. They are
both stuck open and in case of a major leak. the only option would be to shut down water to the entire
Fourth Ave downtown district until the same scope of work can be completed. There are no other options
than to replace the valves so further repair work can be completed.
Multiple contractors were contacted to inquire about fixing the water lines, but only one of them seat in a
quote for the job.
To fix the water main involves some major excavating of the street in front of the station and underground
work. The main water line and associated valves to the station will be replaced and interior pipe
replacement can occur, including the repair to the street arid sidewalk after replacing the water main at the
Fire Department.
This project has been reviewed by Metco and is the only company that supplied us with a quote for this
job. Metco has parts on hand and is ready to begin immediate work:
We ask that the amount quoted be approved to fix the essential water main into the building. This is an
emergency situation as the rusting pipes could continue to break causing major flooding and water damage
to the station.
