Completed pipeline installment on W. Alder Avenue
Five water main replacement projects are scheduled this year. All five projects involve replacing old cast iron pipe that has severe levels of corrosion, which has led to numerous water main breaks in the last 10 years.
The construction contracts were awarded to Diaz Construction. The first construction projects began on W. Canyon Avenue and W. Canyon Trail and are near completion. Contractors began construction on W. Alder Ave. and S. Kendall Blvd. in mid-August and expect to be completed by the end of September. The final project will be on W. Geddes Avenue.
