BACKGROUND
Replacement of the water distribution pipes, mainlines and related infrastructure is an ongoing
program. Growth within the City limits and more stringent fire protection regulations have
placed increased demands on the water distribution system. Some City water facilities are
improperly sized, are made of inferior materials, and/or are deteriorating due to age. Some water
lines in the City are over 100 years old. This program has three objectives:
1. Ensure reliable water service
2. Reduce the need for emergency repairs
3. Enhance available fire flow.
CURRENT
This project will replace portions of waterlines in South, Brook,and Sydney Streets. The
waterlines being replaced are 45 to 75 years old and have deteriorated to the point in which repeated
emergency repairs have been required. The waterlines in South and Brook Streets are in paving
area 2 which is scheduled to be paved in 2009 and the waterline in Sydney Street is in area 4 which
is scheduled to be paved in 201 L
