FIRE FLOW CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PLAN ACCELERATED
A Fire Flow Capital Improvement Plan to solve deficient water lines and fire hydrants in numerous areas of the City has been accelerated from a 10-year timeline to a 5-year completion timeline without a tax impact to citizens.
The identified projects are located within service areas that were purchased by the City of Heath and did not have adequate fire flow protection when purchased. Upgrades will ensure a minimum 1500 GPM fire flow.
Eleven projects listed below have been compressed into the 5-Year plan. The design for Darr Estates will be completed this fall with construction beginning by winter 2025.
Upgrades have already been completed in Antigua Bay and Cove Ridge. The Rabbit Ridge area has also been connected to the City of Heath system with new water lines to complete its transition from the RCH water system.
During the annual budget process, which begins in June, Council may vote to re-prioritize the project schedule. The recommended budget for the 11 projects is $11.5 million.
