Document Description
Valley Water has a proposed Agreement with the Purissima Hills Water District (PHWD) for the reimbursement of funds for the installation of leak-detection infrastructure on fire hydrants located within PHWD’s service area. The acoustic hydrant caps will replace the existing fire hydrant caps and will detect leaks in the system. These detections will allow PHWD to provide a quicker response to smaller leaks in the system, preventing potential catastrophic pipeline failure. No construction will be required to replace the fire hydrant caps.
