Legislation Title:

AN ORDINANCE relating to a Seattle Public Utilities water main; declaring that water main surplus to the City’s needs, authorizing sale of that water main to Northshore Utility District, and authorizing execution of documents necessary to accomplish the sale.

· Summary of the Legislation:

This legislation authorizes the sale of a surplus 16” cast iron water main in Bothell Way NE from Seattle Public Utilities to Northshore Utility District for a fixed fee of $34,000.

· Background:

Northshore Utility District proposes to purchase an unused water main from Seattle Public Utilities. Northshore Utility District will use this water main as a casing to install their own smaller water main inside of it so that they do not have to dig up several blocks of SR-522 Bothell Way NE in heavy traffic. Seattle Public Utilities will provide a design for separating this water main from the active water system. Seattle Public Utilities crews will then perform the construction activities necessary to separate the water main. Northshore Utility District has already submitted a full deposit for this work.
