SUBJECT: Water System Improvements 2024 North English Road Water Main Extension
Project — Reset Public Hearing Date
INTRODUCTION
This memorandum requests that the City Council reschedule the public hearing for the Water
System Improvements — 2024 North English Road Water Main Extension project from July 21,
2025, to August 18, 2025, and hold the public hearing on the newly scheduled date.
BACKGROUND
The City of Dubuque's Water Department has identified a phased capital improvement program to
extend and make necessary improvements throughout the community. The improvements are
primarily associated with the water distribution system. These improvements will address water
resiliency, reduce bottlenecks, improve water storage and pumping at key locations throughout the
community to support the existing customer base and prepare the city for increased demands
associated with existing and new customers. The improvements will also assist the City's need to
reduce and better manage dead-end water mains and other areas where the water age and water
quality can suffer due to lack of circulation.
In 2022, Origin Design was awarded the City -Wide Water Distribution System, Storage, and
Pumping Improvements Project and completed the preliminary design identifying five (5) capital
projects.
One of the five projects is the North English Road Water Main Extension project that will bring
water service to a portion of the SW Arterial, starting at Edval Lane and N. Cascade Road, west
along the SW Arterial to North English Road. This project will allow continued extensions, looping
water main along the SW Arterial between USHWY 151/61 to USHWY 20 while also providing
service between pressure zones and increasing water service reliance to the city's southern and
western most customers.
Origin also prepared and assisted the City in securing an Iowa SRF loan for the proposed
improvements, and a Planning and Design Loan.
DISCUSSION
Origin Design has completed the plans and specifications for the installation of a 12-inch
water main extension, beginning at Edval Lane on North Cascade Road and extending south
to the Southwest Arterial. At the intersection with the Southwest Arterial, the main increases to
Page 1053 of 1311
16 inches in diameter and continues west to North English Mill Road, where it turns north and
extends approximately 1,100 feet along North English Road.
The North English Road water main extension creates a path for a future loop and connection of
Pressure Zone 3 and 4, when in later phases it can extend to English Mill Road and then south to
the English Mill Pump Station.
This project has been awarded funding through the Iowa State Revolving Fund (SRF) program
and was originally advertised for bids on June 18, 2025. Following a design modification to upsize
the water main along North English Road from 12 inches to 16 inches, an addendum and revised
Notice to Bidders were required. As a result, a new public hearing date was scheduled for August
18, 2025. The revised Notice to Bidders was posted on the City of Dubuque website and the
Construction Update Plan Room on July 22, 2025.

projects and funded across several fiscal years.
