The Baylands Park and Duane Avenue Water Main Replacement Project includes two Infrastructure Projects budgeted in FY 2002-03.

At Duane Avenue between Fair Oaks and Worley, the existing 6" water main is corroded and lacks sufficient capacity for current fire flow requirements. The project will replace 750 linear feet of existing 6" cast iron pipe with 8" corrosion resistant pipe. |
