Description Replace approximately 2,000 feet of 1964 16-inch ductile iron water main along the north side of Highway 6 from Fairmeadows Blvd. to Industrial Park Rd. with 16-inch PVC water main.

Justification This water main has had five (5) water main breaks since the year 2000, four (4) of which have happened in 2018/2019. The type of break have been majority corrosion related and it is expected to continue to have main breaks on this main until it is replaced due to corrosive soils. Due to the size and relative location of the water main in the distribution system the breaks on this line are very disruptive - large pressure swings that cause other water quality and integrity issues as well as loss of service to critical customers.

Budget Impact/Other Main breaks on average cost approximately $10,000 each to repair. The main breaks on this stretch of Hwy 6 are significant enough to cause cascading effects such as more main breaks or the need to flush the distribution system which increases costs. Therefore the replacement of this main will have a direct impact on the operational budget lessening main break repairs and indirectly by increasing system integrity overall. Savings is anticipated to average $10,000 to $20,000 per year.
