BACKGROUND
This item authorizes the second step of acquisition for condemnation by eminent domain to acquire from James Reed, of approximately 1,757 square feet of land, located in Hunt County for the Lake Tawakoni 144-inch Transmission Pipeline Project. The first resolution approved on May 26, 2021, by Resolution No. 21-0886, authorized the purchase in the amount of $629.00. The property is encumbered with title issues and delinquent taxes, and the City will not be able to close the transaction amicably.
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. No relocation benefits are associated with this acquisition. The consideration is based on an independent appraisal.
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW (COUNCIL, BOARDS, COMMISSIONS)
