The work generally entails relocating approximately 86 water services currently connected to a 4-inch and 6-inch waterline installed in the 1940's to a 12-inch waterline installed in the 1970's.The older, smaller water main,which has experienced leaks in the past, would be abandoned upon completion of the water service relocations. The work identified will be constructed by the Water Division's field forces. Once the service relocations are complete, RPU will repair the trenches in accordance with Publics Works' trench paving restoration standard of 2011. A budgetary estimate for the paving work has been included in this authorization. The actual amount will be reported at a future date after the paving design and bids for the paving work are received from RPU's paving contractor's panel with a recommendation to award the project.
