Document Description
The Project is to retrofit the existing Plunkett Road water network and Booster Station #10 for the Jacoby Creek Water District’s system as managed by the City of Arcata. The Plunkett Road waterline is very susceptible to breaks, due to geological instability in the area and the age of the pipes. To ensure public safety in case of geologic events, the proposed project will include replacement of the existing pipeline with new pipe. Additionally, upgrades will be performed at the nearby pump station that serves this portion of the water system.
