Title/Name/Summary
Silver Lake West Water Main Replacement Phase 1 and 82nd Avenue Lining - Bid
History
Silver Lake West subdivision was developed in phases starting in the late 1970’s through the mid 1980’s. The water mains were installed using cast iron pipes. Current industry standard is ductile iron pipe with a polyvinyl wrap. Over the 40+ years of service, the water mains have corroded on the exterior of the pipe and have caused numerous breaks. Public Works Staff is systematically replacing and/or lining these older cast iron pipes throughout the Village. The Silver Lake West subdivision area homes are also prime candidates for remodeling, building additions and upgrades which will require larger water service sizes. This area is best suited for water main replacement instead of lining, allowing the opportunity to increase pipe diameter to improve flow characteristics and upgrade water services.
The water main running from 143rd Street to Doorstep Lane along 82nd Avenue has had several water main breaks in recent history. Public Works Staff recommends lining this water main due to main deterioration. The water main has no service connections and is adequate size for lining. In this application, lining is the most cost effective method for reconditioning the pipe with minimal restoration.
