Assessment/Development Manual Assessment rates are spread based on state law and City policies and procedures. We have developed a manual that outlines the general policies and procedures for this effort. The Current Projects The City of Hutchinson will post updates on projects. Please check weekly for the most recent information. FAQ's (Frequently Asked Questions)Q. |
How long should improvements last? |
A. |
All pavements have a finite life of 25 – 35 years. Streets not constructed to full standards or subject to other conditions may not last as long. Well constructed roads may last longer, depending on the timing and extent of maintenance projects. Sanitary sewer, water main and storm sewer may last anywhere from 35 to 75 years or longer, depending on many factors (pipe materials, soil and installation conditions, construction standards, etc.). |

Q. |
How is it determined which projects will be completed? |
A. |
See the section on Project Selection below. We also develop a very rough plan for the next 5-Year period. Please review the Proposed 5-Year CIP section below. |

Q. |
Who is responsible to relocate or replace landscaping or sprinkler systems in the right-of-way or easement? |
A. |
The property owner is responsible for improvements placed in the boulevard areas along streets. It is the responsibility of the property owner to locate and protect any sprinkler systems, invisible pet fencing, sump pump lines or other items placed in the boulevard. Replacement of standard landscaping (trees, lawns, etc.) will generally be completed by the City as part of the project, however, the City may determine that some landscaping items exceed standards and require property owner involvement (some retaining walls, shrubs, concrete borders, landscape bricks and blocks, private lights or monuments, etc.). Project SelectionThe City uses many criteria for selecting when and how to complete reconstruction of municipal utility and street improvements. See also the site describing Infrastructure Resource Management to review the data developed and utilized for Project Selection. They include, but are not limited to: Pavement Management Program

Sewer and Water System Analysis The sanitary sewer, storm sewer and water main systems in the street and/or right-of-way is reviewed based on several factors: Financing
Proposed 5-Year CIP (Capital Improvement Plan)Using the Project Selection criteria above, the City develops a 5-Year CIP outlining the potential projects that may be completed over the next 5-Year period. The CIP is only a rough plan as to these projects, and should be generally seen as an indicator, or rough proposal, of when a project may be completed. It is not a guarantee that a project will be done, and does not indicate all projects that may be completed in that time frame. This plan changes dramatically on a year-by-year basis based on financial and political issues, feasibility, prioritization or other factors. Please contact the Engineering Department if you would like more information regarding a project. |
