Project:	40th Street Pump Station Building Upgrade	Project Number:	Not Yet Assigned
Contact:	Christopher Janigo	Latest Update:	9/16/2019
Status:	Project Scoping
Next Task:	Design
Budget:	$30,000
Description:	The current enclosure for the generator is in poor condition, there is minimal space to access the generator. By adding onto the building, the pump station would be similar to others within the City. Lengthen the current block pump station building by approximately 15 to include an enclosed room for the current emergency generator. Building is approximately 14 wide. The 71st pump station drawing would be an example of what the layout would look like.

Project:	AMI Water Metering System	Project Number:	2012-029
Contact:	Clare Paul	Latest Update:	12/10/2019
Status:	The City is in the process of setting up additional gateways to be able to receive transmitted meter data. By the end of the year, approximately 90% of all meters will be read through the AMI system.?
Next Task:
Budget:	$2,500,000
Description:	The AMI Water Metering System project will convert the Citys water metering to an Automatic Meter Interface (AMI) system. The water system is currently metered primarily through manual read meters, which are read once a month. The AMI system will transmit usage information for every 15 minutes, via a radio network, eliminating the need for physical meter reading and providing timely detection of customer water leaks. An online portal will also be established for customers to view their water usage.

Project:	Big Creek Dam 1 and 2	Project Number:	2011-025
Contact:	Tim Gross	Latest Update:	12/10/2019
Status:	The City in conjunction with assistance from Chase Park Grants and HDR Engineering Inc. are working on environmental and design permitting through the Army Corp of Engineers.
Next Task:	The next task is to secure financing to finish design of the Roller Compacted Dam.
Budget:	$1,400,000
Description:	2011-2016 Geologic surveys of both dam concluded that the dams lack structural resiliency to medium scale seismic events. In 2016 a feasibility Study began to evaluate alternatives. the Lower Dam was deemed not economically feasible to save. Rehabilitation or decommissioning will be required by the state upon construction of a new water source. An evaluation of constructing a Rocky Creek Dam was deemed unfeasible due to the distant location of the dam and the long term maintenance cost of a raw water line required to traverse from the north side of Cape Foulweather to Newport. Preserving our original source in the Big Creek Basin was deemed the best course of action. Three alternatives for corrective action within the Big Creek Basin have been evaluated. They are the following: Alternative #1: Raise and Modify Existing Dam. Alternative #2: Construct a new Roller Compacted Dam Alternative #3: Construct New Embankment Dam A Feasibility Study of alternatives to the Dam is in its final stages of analysis. The most cost effective and long term solution to preserving Newports Source is Alternative #2. A roller compacted dam constructed between the two dams would replace the upper dam.
