SUBJECT: Old Highway 10 Water Main Replacement
Background
In the past 10 days we have had three water main breaks on the pipe along Old Highway
10 between Valentine Avenue and Lake Valentine Road. Each repair has revealed pipe
that has been "eaten" away by the soils in the area. The water main was installed in
1998. Since October 2007 there have been a total of 11 breaks in this same section of
water main. Each break that is repaired requires a significant amount of staff resources
and also closing of traffic to that section of Old Highway 10. Given the types of breaks,
there is no reason to believe that the number of breaks in this area will slow down.
Staff will be talking with contractors about providing a quote to replace this,
approximately 1,500 foot, section of water main with plastic pipe which is not susceptible
to being deteriorated by the soils. We will provide the Council more information at
Monday's Council Meeting
