Orange Center School District Water Consolidation Project

Orange Center School District Water Consolidation Project

The City is proposing to construct, operate, and maintain approximately 2.8 miles of new water mains (pipelines) with associated connections to existing pipelines, tees, valves, and fire hydrants within the City of Fresno and unincorporated Fresno County. The City plans to construct 3,300 feet of 14-inch water main in S. Cherry Avenue from the current terminus of its water main, which is in the vicinity of Fresno Irrigation District (FID) North Central No. 26 canal, southward to the intersection with E. Central Avenue; 3,300 feet of 14-inch water main in S. East Avenue, from the current terminus of its water main, in the vicinity of FID's North Central No. 26 canal, southward to the intersection with E. Central Avenue; and 8,000 feet of 16-inch water main in E. Central Avenue from the intersection of S. Cherry Avenue eastward to connect with the City's existing water main in S. Cedar Avenue. Installation of these water pipelines would allow the Orange Center Elementary School to connect to the City of Fresno water system, allowing the school to replace its current use of bottled water and to cease using its on-site well (which would be abandoned). The project would also complete infrastructure improvements to ensure water system reliability and water service for properties along S. Cherry Avenue, E. Central Avenue, and S. East Avenue within the City's service area.
