for the Replacement of Manhole No. 66-63 at 7400 Humboldt Ave. in the FGUA Pasco Utility System
Provided for the Board’s review and consideration was a request for the ratification of Work Authorization No.
USWWT 14-145 with US Water / Wade Trim, LLC for the replacement of Manhole No. 6-63 at 7400 Humboldt Ave. in
the Pasco Utility System. Manhole No. 6-63 located in the front yard of 7400 Humboldt developed a severe
depression around the entire perimeter of the manhole which subsequently caused the adjacent driveway and
sidewalk to cave in. Neighboring water services were damaged and had to be rerouted to maintain service. Soil
bores were taken to determine the condition of the soils surrounding the manhole, and were determined to be very
loose down to 20 feet. The manhole was replaced along with 20 ft. of piping to the east and west of the manhole.
The damaged driveways, sidewalks, curbing and a section of the roadway were also replaced. Due to the depth of
the repairs, site dewatering was needed along with maintenance of traffic and sanitary sewer bypassing for an
extended period of time. These repairs were done in phases due to the scope of damage. Staff recommended
