The 2009 Citywide Main Renewal project, engineered by Rob
Bannister and Kevin Jesik, will be
out to bid this month. This renewal
will include the 1800 block of East
16th Street, 1600 block of East 15th
Street, Lakeview Avenue between
Lake and Orman, and Santa Fe
Avenue between Ilex and “D” Street.
Board crews will be reinstalling the
water mains in the intersection of
Lake Avenue and Lakeview Avenue
in conjunction with the City’s
reconfiguration of the traffic design
of the intersection.
The water main extension to
the St. Charles Industrial Park site
was completed on schedule despite
numerous trials and tribulations
(Applause! Applause!). Excessive
groundwater saturation required a
section of the main to be reinstalled
with concrete weights to hold the
pipe in place. The site will have
water service during construction
of the Greenhorn water storage tank
which should be completed in late
fall. The design for an alternate feed
to the new industrial park is still
being engineered by Matt Trujillo
and Kent Cooper. This water main
will originate at the far south end of
Prairie Avenue south of Farabaugh
Lane and extend south and east
across the I-25 corridor.
Commercial Service Solutions
will begin the construction of the
pressure dissipation vault building at
the Whitlock Facility. The clear well
discharge piping has been delivered
to the Whitlock Facility and will be
installed soon, providing an air cap
for system isolation. |
