BACKGROUND:
The 2027 Water Main Replacement Program consists of 12 contracts to replace a total of approximately 20 miles of water main at a cost of approximately $64,589,750.00. The Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) standard requirements for watermain installation requires 18-inches of vertical separation from bottom of water main to top of sewer and 10-feet horizontal separation from edge of water main to edge of sewer. Approximately 18,000 LF of sanitary and storm sewer did not meet EPA’s water and sewer separation requirements. To provide the required separation, either the sewers have to be relocated, or EPA allows the sewers to be lined. The most cost-effective method is to line the existing sewers with cured-in-place pipelining (CIPP).
The Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation for the 2027 Watermain Replacement Program design drawings and bidding documents were prepared and the invitation to bid was advertised in the Herald News on Thursday, September 3, 2026.
The Public Service Committee will review this matter.
