Authorize the Mayor to Execute an Agreement with Coachella
Valley Water District for Maintenance of a Storm Drain Siphon in
Hovley Lane West near Corte Placitas
SUBMITTED BY: Mark Greenwood, P.E., Director of Public Works
DATE: September 25, 2008
CONTENTS: Agreement
Recommendation:
Authorize the Mayor to Execute an Agreement with Coachella Valley
Water District for Maintenance of a Storm Drain Siphon in Hovley Lane
West near Corte Placitas.
Discussion:
To keep up with increasing volumes of sewage, the Coachella Valley Water District
(CVWD) recently installed a thirty-three (33") inch trunk sewer line in various streets
through Palm Desert. During the installation of sewer line, CVWD discovered a storm
drain lateral directly in the path of the sewer line. They cut out a section of the existing
storm drain and continued the installation of the sewer line.
Due to the fact that the City's storm drain was severed without permission, CVWD
agreed to engineer a siphon so the storm drain will still function. CVWD also agreed to
maintain the siphon in perpetuity.
An agreement has been drafted which specifies that CVWD takes full responsibility for
the operation and maintenance of the siphon.
A summary of the agreement is as follows:
1. CVWD Is solely responsible for the maintenance of the siphon.
2. In the event of damage to the siphon CVWD is required to repair or
replace the siphon.
