Document Description
Many areas in the City of Dunsmuir's water service boundary are served by undersized pipelines that are 40 to 60 years old and have restricted fire flows. In addition, the water distribution system is subject to fluctuations in pressure that pose a threat to the safety of the system. The proposed project would replace aging infrastructure, moderate system pressures, provide improved fire flows, and ensure a safe and reliable potable water supply for customers in the City’s water service area. Proposed improvements include installing new waterline, installing a new fire hydrant, and relocating a pressure relief station. Vegetation removal may be required to accommodate some of the waterline improvements; however, no mature healthy trees would be removed. All improvements would be outside of FEMA-designated flood hazard zones.
