92 Melrose & Westgate 16-Inch Water Main

Install 16-inch water main parallel to the existing water main on Melrose Ave from Dublin Rd to Westgate St and on Westgate St from Melrose Ave to Benton St. This project would reduce velocity headloss from the Emerald ground storage reservoir to customers west of US-218, increasing service pressure. This project will be evaluated by hydraulic modeling after the West Side GSR project is completed. $ Replace and upgrade aging HVAC equipment and controls at the water treatment facility. Remove gas overhead heaters and associated gas lines, electrical, and exhaust piping. The heaters are not used and in time pose a safety hazard. $ Replace approximately 410 linear feet of 6-inch 1950 cast iron water main on Teeters Ct. The water main has experienced three main breaks and services Lincoln Elementary. $ Replace approximately 1,400 linear feet of 12-inch 1971 ductile iron water main on Highway 6. The water main has experienced two water main breaks. Due to the size of the water main, it's proximity to the Sycamore reservoir, and 16 inch water main on the north side of Highway 6, breaks tend to cause large system disruptions. $ Replace approximately 1,100 linear feet of 6-inch 1962 cast iron water main on Southlawn Dr (800-900 blk). The water main has experienced 10 main breaks and services Lucas Elementary. $ Installation of paving and covered outdoor material storage structures to protect water distribution materials from the elements. $ Replace the (3) water plant site gates and the (3) GSR gates (Rochester, Emerald, and Sycamore). $ Replace approximately 400 feet of 1984 12-inch water main on Highway 1 between Miller Ave and Hudson Ave. The work would also simplify the utility network in the area. $ Replace approximately 800 feet of 1994 16-inch water main on Hwy 6 between Rocky Shore Dr and Newton Rd & replace 400 feet of 1967 12-inch on Rocky Shore Dr from Hwy 6 to Dill St. $ Replace approximately 350 feet of 1948 2-inch water main on Pleasant St from Cedar St to Davenport St $
