The City of Aumsville has approved a 20-year plan for potential infrastructure improvements, with projects totaling an estimated $108.5 million
During the Aumsville City Council’s June 23 regular meeting, officials approved the plan as part of ongoing efforts to evaluate customer rates for municipal services.
The proposed projects include upgrades to water, sewer, stormwater, transportation and parks, with an itemized list of potential projects and estimated costs.
Such documents allow cities to plan ahead for potential future expenses, and demonstrate to potential funding sources that they have performed appropriate due diligence. In this case of this plan, the city was required to map out potential future infrastructure costs when considering potential rate increases.
The approved plan included projects totalling $6.5 million for water, $33 million for sewer, $550,000 for stormwater, $48.2 million for transportation and $20.3 million for parks.
Larger-scale projects included $25.2 million for a new sewer plant, $19.5 million for new street construction on 14th St., Del Mar Dr. and Cleveland St., $11 million to build Eastside Community Park, $1.6 million for a new 500,000-gallon water tower.
Some of these projects are already under way such as the sewer plant, while others like Eastside Community Park are nearing development. Others may happen as the city acquires project funds and as other higher-priority projects are completed.
A full copy of the adopted infrastructure plan is available through City Hall and on the city’s website.
