The current Lakeview water main is over 50 years old and historically has had some major mainline breaks flooding out some of the adjacent residents. This new water main will secure our water system in this area by reducing system disruptions, improve water quality, and increase system reliability.

Who is doing the work?

The City's Field Services Division will be fulfilling all construction of this project. The photos show the trenching for the new water main, and the installation of the 8" water main (it is wrapped in plastic sheeting to protect against corrosion due to soil conditions).

Who do I contact if I have any questions?

You can contact Steve Hernandez, Water Operations Supervisor at 768-3194.
