Allen Water District

An Informational Meeting was held on June 26, 2018 to present information relating to the proposed waterline to the affected property owners.  The Allen Water District is  requesting all affected property owners provide written comment to the District stating whether they are in favor of or opposed to the project by August 3rd, 2018.  The Board of Trustees will review all comment at their August 8th, 2018 Board Meeting and make a decision on whether or not to proceed with the project.

• On 11/8/2017, an Informational Meeting was held at the Allen Water District Office.  This meeting was held to provide information to property owners regarding proposed project costs, layout and timelines.

•  On 1/10/2018, the Board made a motion to continue with the Diller Road East Waterline Improvement Project by Waiver of Notice of Hearing and Consent to Assesment for Public Improvement.  The District Chair has signed and entered into an agreement with Kohli & Kaliher Associates, Inc. for preparation of plans.

• On 4/11/2018, the Board of Trustees approved a Resolution of Necessity to construct a waterline along East Diller Road stating the location of project, approve detailed plans, specifications, estimate of costs, method of repayment and method of levying special assessments and authorize the Clerk of the Board to advertise for bids.

• On 5/9/2018, the Board of Trustees approved a Resolution of Intent to Proceed with the Diller Road East Waterline Improvement Project.   

• On June 8th, this project was put out for bid and unfortunately, the bids received were more than 10% of our engineer's estimate.  For this reason, by law, the District is required to reject the bids.  A letter has been sent to the affected property owners to give an update on the project.  The District would like to hold another Informational Meeting toward the end of October/early November and bid this project again in the fall when the bidding will most likely be more competitive.
