Document Description: The City of Santa Cruz Water Department proposes to replace approximately 18,500 linear feet of 16- to 22-inch diameter raw water main that runs along Highway 1 in Santa Cruz County. The proposed project is Phase 3 (Coast Segment) of the North Coast System Rehabilitation Project (NCS). The Phase 3 segment is 19,800 feet in total length. The overall project will: 1) install/replace 18,500 feet of new pipeline; 2) use/retain 1,300 feet of existing pipeline; and 3) remove 800 feet of old, above ground pipeline. The majority of the proposed pipeline would be built using standard open trench construction techniques. The remainder would be built using a trenchless construction method such as horizontal direction drilling and jack and bore. These methods would be used at proposed crossings of Highway 1, Lombardi Gulch, and the Santa Cruz Branch rail line.
