Every project links to the city packet it came from.

Resolution 26-45 authorizes an 18-month due diligence agreement to evaluate property for additional source water for the City of Newark. This action indicates potential future construction of water infrastructure to ensure adequate supply.

What happened

The City of Newark Council is considering Resolution 26-45 to authorize the Director of Public Service to enter into an 18-month due diligence agreement to evaluate property for additional source water.

Why it matters

Evaluating property for additional source water implies future civil engineering and construction work related to water supply expansion, including potential new water lines, well fields, or treatment infrastructure. This will require earthwork, excavation, and new utility connections.

Timing

If approved, an 18-month due diligence period will commence, followed by potential land acquisition and project development for new water infrastructure. Construction could be several years out but this is an early signal.
