Site work for a water / sewer project in Ketchikan, Alaska. Conceptual plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

The 560-foot ductile-iron 8-inch water line serving Skyline Condominiums is an unusual proposition. It is not installed in a dedicated right-of-way but rather through a series of easements that begin by passing through the side yard of 1111 Jackson, then across Skyline Condominium's property, and finally connecting to Carlanna Lake Road. Installed in 1983, it too is continuing to fail due to electrolytic corrosion, most recently in August 2021, and is overdue for replacement with non-corrodible HDPE plastic pipe. There is no present funding available for its replacement but if there were, it would be designed in 2023 along with each of these four utility improvement projects contributing to the combined design contract with a single firm. Should Municipal Assistance Funding ever become available again, this would be a likely project that is already designed and has received ADEC approval for maximum points. It would also require voter approval to enter into loan agreements for the remainder of the funding. As of March 6, 2023, this project is included in the City of Ketchikan FY 2023 - 2027 CIP. Information regarding a design firm and the general contractor selection timeline has not been disclosed. Although a firm timeline for construction has not been determined, construction is not expected to start prior to fiscal year 2027. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change. The content management team will continue to pursue additional details as they become available.
