South North Intertie Project (SNIP)

South North Intertie Project (SNIP)

The project consists of connecting AVEK's northern and southern systems to provide redundancy to the surrounding area; this will allow the Agency's operation to maximize the use of existing treatment facilities. The SNIP will increase reliability of the Agency's system by insulating the Agency from outages in the portions in the California Aqueduct between Fairmont and the Quartz Hill WTP. It is estimated that the proposed SNIP will include a series of pipelines ranging in diameter from 36" to 48", and a pressure recuding/pump station at each terminus of the pipeline. The SNIP will provide a pipeline from the existing AVEK Central Feeder at the Rosamond WTP Discharge, south to the existing 70th Street West Pipeline at Avenue N-8 and 70th Street West or the 60th Street West Lateral, Four potential alternative pipeline alignments have been reviewed for the SNIP which include (1) 30th Street West, (2) 60 Street West, (3) 80th Street West, and (4) 110th Street West.
