Emergency replacement of existing fence (6 feet to 8 feet high, topped with barbed wire) and add new fencing where necessary.

The purpose is to provide improved security to protect the City's potable water supply and distribution system from sabotage due to the threats from the 9/11/01 events. All work is being monitored by a biologist as approximately 3 feet of plant material will be removed on either side of the fence.
