In what could have set a record, Emporia city commissioners dispensed with their agenda in 25 minutes on Wednesday night. Along the way, they accepted bids for projects, agreed to a bond refinancing by a local industry and approved the capital improvement plan through 2015.
Commissioners unanimously agreed to hire Burnap Bros., and Emporia plumbing company, to perform three jobs connected “cleaning up” service lines in the Commercial Street water main replacement project. For a cost of $3,650, Burnap will take on three jobs in the 1000 and 1100 block of Commercial Street:
- remove a water meter in the basement and straight pipe to the service line of 1101 Commercial St.;
- install a new service line from the meter to a connection point in the building at 1019 Commercial St.; and
- install a new service line from the meter into the building at 1025 Commercial St., as well as a valve and cap on the line.
