Why is the City doing this Project?

This project will replace the existing 1950-era steel water main in Crawford Ave between Miller St and Okanogan Ave due to multiple leaks. This water main is a critical portion of the water system that transfers water from the 4 MG Okanogan reservoir to the Skyline and Jefferson Street reservoirs as well as the middle water zone distribution network and upper pressure zone via the Crawford booster station at the corner of Crawford and Okanogan. Failures of this water main result in pressure drops throughout the south half of the City including the High School, Middle School, and Hospital areas. This pipe also has several services for residences which would be better served through connection to a standard distribution main rather than a transmission main.

What will the Project include?

The existing 14-inch, steel water main was constructed during the 1950’s and has reached the end of its useful life. This pipeline connects the 4MG Okanogan reservoir to the 1 MG Skyline reservoir and upper pressure zone via the Crawford booster station at the corner of Crawford and Okanogan. The project will replace approximately 2,700 lineal feet of 14-inch steel water main with a new 16-inch ductile iron transmission main in Crawford Ave between Miller St and Okanogan Ave. An additional, parallel, 8-inch ductile iron distribution main will also be constructed.  

Work to be performed includes but is not limited to: Installation of new ductile iron pipe, reconnection of customer water services, removal or abandonment of existing 14-inch steel pipe; installation of sidewalk curb ramps, storm catch basins, and grinding and overlaying the work areas.
