(Yuba-Sutter, CA) – Among the items on the agenda for tomorrow’s Yuba Water Agency Board of Directors meeting, is a vote on an emergency contract for repair of the Ostrom Road sinkhole, that would waive the customary bidding process.

The agenda item notes that speed is of the essence as the sinkhole “represents a clear and present hazard to public safety.”

The total repair cost is estimated at $2,900,500, to be paid entirely by the Yuba Water Agency.
