SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
The City of Yakima Wastewater Division has several hundred feet of 4 -inch and 12 -inch PVC
pipe that was used for trench dewatering during installation of the sanitary sewer pipe in the
Washington Avenue and River Road projects. Since these projects are complete, the pipe is
getting old and brittle due to sitting out in the sun. As the City has no upcoming projects that
will require the use of this type of pipe nor do we have a place to store it, the Wastewater
Division has classified this pipe as surplus.
However, the City of Union Gap is beginning construction of the Valley Mall Boulevard
Extension, Phase 3 Project (Valley Mall Project) of which the City of Yakima is a funding
partner and as trench dewatering is required during this project, transferring ownership of the
surplus pipe will help Union Gap with their project funding. As the pipe sets, it is a liability to
the City of Yakima and we will have to at least move it from River Road to a storage facility
and pay for its' removal and disposal in the future all at the City of Yakima's' expense.
Due to these circumstances we recommend that the ownership of the dewatering pipe be
transferred to the City of Union Gap for the Valley Mall Project for which they will haul it from
its current location and be responsible for future disposal.
