(KNZA)--The Hiawatha City Commission approved two repair projects when they meet this week.
Additional work was approved to help alleviate storm water runoff issues at the intersection of 3rd and Pottawatomie Streets.
Public Works Director Brad Scott said city staff evaluated the site and determined that adding a drainage tube on the east side of 3rd Street would be a good solution as well as fixing some problems with existing drainage tubes.
The commission approved the materials to complete the work from NEK Drainage, of Robinson, in the amount of $20,770.
All labor will be completed by city staff.
In addition, the commission approved the repair of the alley behind the library and police station building.
Scott said water flowing down the alley from the west during rain events is affecting the degradation of the gravel alley. He said city staff felt hard surfacing the alley with concrete would be the best option.
The commission approved a quote from J & B Contractors, of Hiawatha, in the amount of $28,190 to concrete the alley from 5th Street to the east edge of the back parking lot of the police station.
