Working with GLWA’s consultant on this project, GLWA has identified properties that it needs near the Fox Creek outfall and regulator chambers. GLWA negotiated a temporary construction easement agreement with East Jefferson Development Corporation for $1,800 until September 2024. Additional easements and property acquisitions are necessary to support the rehabilitation of the Fox Creek outfall and regulator chambers and will be presented to the Board as they are negotiated with the property owners.
BUDGET IMPACT
There are sufficient funds allocated for the temporary construction agreement in the CIP.
