Document Description
Phase I of the project will reactivate an additional three miles of pipeline and establish 15 watering sites for wildlife. To reactivate the three miles of pipeline, water will be pressurized into the line using the water delivered by the existing charged line. Inspections will occur along the recharged line to determine where any leaks or broken lines occur. The broken lines and leaks will be repaired or replaced.
Phase II of the project will require installation of pipeline from the polyethylene tanks to the site where the green forage will be established. Commercial pop-up sprinklers will be established to maintain the green forage. An automatic float valve system will be installed to deliver water to the green forage as needed from the tanks.
