Body
Item Summary:
The Water Specifications, Section 4 of the City of Roswell's Standard Construction Specifications, have been comprehensively updated to comply with new Federal standards for lead content and to meet current construction standards. The numbering/bulleting scheme has been revised to make it easier for contractors, engineers, and staff to reference. Additionally, the number of manufacturers and models of hydrants, valves, or corporation stops allowable, to be used in the Roswell Water System, have been reduced. This was necessary to ensure that parts could be kept on hand for emergency repairs and reduce overall costs.
Committee or Staff Recommendation:
On August 14, 2012 the Public Safety and Public Works Committee recommended placing this Item on the August 27, 2012 Mayor and Council Agenda.
