[av_toggle title=’What is the FY19 CIP Water Main Replacements Design-Build project?‘ tags=” av_uid=’av-3txx3′]
The CITY’s investment in its water delivery infrastructure is key to the delivery of water to its customers for drinking, cooking, cleaning, sanitation, irrigation, recreation, business, industry and fire suppression. The CITY’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) identifies areas where water main upgrades, production plant improvements, major distribution system repairs and expansions are needed. The CIP also provides a timeline to complete needed work and identifies funding to move projects forward.

The FY19 CIP Water Main Replacements project is part of the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and consists of the design and construction of approximately 102,500 linear feet of potable water distribution pipe and appurtenances for various non-contiguous water main replacement projects throughout the central portion of the CITY’s water service area.
