Project Details
Overall, the work is necessary to replace aging infrastructure that has reached the end of is useful life span. The project will include system improvements to meet the level of service experienced elsewhere in the system for adequate water pressure, flow, redundancy and stored water available for irrigation, firefighting and emergencies.
Timeline
The replacement project is anticipated for completion summer 2019. The work includes complex operations that require a long-term construction period and mobilization of specialized construction equipment.
Project Impact
Due to the proximity of this project to our customers, the city is taking special precautions to minimize disruption and inconvenience, including:
Hiring a specialty contractor with high qualifications specifically for this type of work. All contractors bidding this work completed a detailed prequalification process.
Restricting work hours to Mondays through Fridays from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. to limit the impact of construction equipment and work noise. Weekend and evening work will only be permitted if special circumstances arise.
Careful monitoring of contractor compliance to state and local permit requirements for noise and dust control. Sequencing the work to minimize the need for water service disruptions.
