RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER PROJECTS AND/ OR MASTER PLAN:

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
This project will allow for the systematic replacement of valves on an as needed basis.

PROJECT SCHEDULE:
On -going

JUSTIFICATION:
Old and deteriorated water valves prevent water lines from being isolated in the event of a line break. The
inability to isolate the smallest segment possible during a line break increases the labor required to isolate the
line, as well as the number of residents and fire hydrants that would be affected by a line break. Systematic
annual replacement of old deteriorated water valves will increase efficiency, reduce maintenance costs, and
ensure maximum fire protection and water service availability.
