PUBLIC WORKS - WATER CIP The existing watermain system consists of pipe ranging between 6" to 12". Pipe materials include PVC and ductile iron. There are approximately 74,700 feet of pipe in the South System and approximately 41,450 feet in the North System. The East System has approximately 8,650 feet of pipe. The majority of the watermain was installed between 1967 and 2011. The City has two water towers. The south tower has a 200,000 gallon tank and was built in 1971. The north tower has a 400,000 gallon tank and was built in 1992. The City also has three existing wells; two in the South System and only one in the North System. The life cycle of a watermain depends on several factors including the quality of construction, the type of material used in construction, and soil conditions. In growing communities it is also possible for a watermain to become functionally obsolete if the size of the main prevents the system from meeting demand. In general, a well constructed watermain system can have a life of 50 or more years. Projects identified in the Water CIP include the costs associated with maintaining and improving the water system such as equipment rehabilitation, watertower maintenance, and watermain improvements and replacement.
