Document Description
The City's water distribution system consists of approximately 105,000 feet (19.9 miles) of mainline piping ranging from 1-inch to 18-inch diameter. Many areas in the City's water service boundary are served by undersized pipelines that are 40 to 60 years old and do not have adequate fire flows. In addition, an existing 4-inch steel main that crosses 1-5 near the High School predates Interstate 5 (1-5) and is buried approximately 30 feet deep. If a break occurs on this line, the line would have to be capped and abandoned, which would reduce the flow rate to the High School. In addition, in 2013 and 2014, City staff repaired 107 water leaks in its distribution system, and many additional repairs have been completed since that time. In some areas, there is such an extensive leak history that the presence of multiple past leak repair clamps prevents the City from making additional repairs. In these locations, short sections of pipe must be replaced in order to repair the leak. See Attached NOE For Full Details.
