Background Information
The Water Distribution Improvements Project will loop dead-end water lines in the S. Calera Street, Brickell Drive, and Jeannin Drive areas. The project includes the installation of new potable water mains within the existing roadway rights-of-way and will include connection to existing mains and stub-outs for future water main extensions, as well as the installation of gate valves, fire hydrants, and water service connections.
This project will improve potable water distribution system reliability, fire flow, water quality, and pressure as well as reduce the amount of flushing necessary to maintain water quality in the focus areas.
