SUMMARY
As part of the City Council adopted Strategic Roadmap to improve utilities infrastructure, the City aims to upgrade the water distribution system by replacing two and a half miles of water pipeline annually. The goal is to improve the capacity and maintain the operability of the water distribution system and provide adequate fire flows.
The FY25 Water Line Replacement Project, Project 07028, will improve water supply reliability by replacing approximately 8,620 linear feet of existing cast iron and asbestos cement (ACP) pipes ranging from 6 to 12-inch diameters with new 8 or 12-inch polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or earthquake resistant ductile iron (ERDIP) pipes at three locations in the City. The water line locations were selected by staff due to their criticality and immediate needs for the system. These pipes have exceeded their service life, had main breaks, and would have major impacts on a large number of residents if they were to fail.
