Countryside Pump Station Replacement and Tank Repair

Neighborhood Letter

Project update:

The new pump station has been completed and is in full operation. Work remaining includes minor interior clean-up and paint touch-up, final site grading and landscaping which will be completed as weather permits.

Project Details

Overall, the work is necessary to replace aging infrastructure that has reached the end of is useful life span. The project will include system improvements to meet the level of service experienced elsewhere in the system for adequate water pressure, flow, redundancy and stored water available for irrigation, firefighting and emergencies.

Timeline

The replacement project began in the fall of 2017 with completion anticipated for early 2019. The work includes complex operations and procedures that require a long-term construction period, coordination with existing facility operations and mobilization of specialized construction equipment.

Project Impact

Due to the proximity of this project to our customers, the city is taking special precautions to minimize disruption and inconvenience, including:

  • Hiring a specialty contractor with high qualifications specifically for this type of work. All contractors bidding this work completed a detailed prequalification process.
  • Restricting work hours to Mondays through Fridays from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. to limit the impact of construction equipment and work noise.
  • Weekend and evening work will only be permitted if special circumstances arise.
  • Careful monitoring of contractor compliance to state and local permit requirements for noise and dust control.
  • Sequencing the work to minimize the need for water service disruptions.
