SUBJECT
title
A resolution to approve an easement to the City of Fort Worth for the installation, operation, and maintenance of a reclaimed water flush line at DFW Airport as set forth in DFW Airport Board Resolution 2017-04-089 - Financing: No cost consideration to the City
body
BACKGROUND
The Dallas Fort Worth International Airport Board is requesting that the Owner Cities of Dallas and Fort Worth approve an easement which is detailed below.
Reclaimed Water Flush Line Easement
The City of Fort Worth has an easement for a reclaimed water line on DFW Airport property. When the line was first connected, it was found to be full of debris and needed to be flushed and cleaned out from the Fort Worth system to DFW Airport. The pipeline was cleaned, and a flush line was constructed as a debris removal point. The flush line was not in the original design and not part of the original easement. This approval expands the existing easement to include the flush line. There is no monetary compensation for this approval because the easement benefits the operation of DFW Airport. The Airport Board originally approved this easement in 2017. However, at the time, staff was planning on bringing the easement with another project that would require easements for the owner cities’ approvals. That project was delayed; thus, staff is bringing the easement for approval now.
This item was briefed via memo to the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee on September 20, 2021.
