Capital — Major Plumbing Repairs
5. The Asset Management Services Department has received notice that due to a long delay
in the State Plumbing Inspectors office, the bid for the Orange County Public
Transportation sewer improvements project has gone over budget by $23,570. The work
is to disconnect the existing sewer from the tanks and route a new sewer connection into
the city sewer system. The existing system is failing and requires the County to pump the
tanks monthly in order to keep the restrooms open. The State Plumbing Inspectors office
has to approve and provide the permit as they do not allow taps onto city systems without
their approval and inspection. County Staff have identified savings in the completed Battle
Courtroom Remediation project to fund this overage. This amends the following Capital
Ordinances:
