BACKGROUND
This item authorizes the acquisition from David Celella and Lauri Celella, of approximately 114,094 square feet of land located in Kaufman County. This property will be used for the construction of a 144-inch raw water transmission line for the Lake Tawakoni 144-inch Transmission Pipeline Project. The consideration is based on an independent appraisal. There are no relocation benefits associated.
This acquisition is part of the right-of-way required to construct approximately 32 miles of pipeline from Lake Tawakoni to the Interim Balancing Reservoir located in Terrell, Texas and then to the Eastside Water Treatment Plant located in Sunnyvale, Texas. The new raw water pipeline will augment the existing 72-inch and 84-inch pipelines. The construction of this pipeline will give Dallas Water Utilities the ability to utilize the full capacity of both the Lake Tawakoni and the Lake Fork raw water supply to meet the current city needs and future water demands.
