6. Discussion and Background
Existing water mains on N. Santiago Boulevard, E. Villa Vista Way, E. Riding Way, El Sereno Dr., E. Riding Way, and N. Bailey Dr. are scheduled to be replaced as part of the Annual Pipeline Renewal Project. These water mains were constructed between the 1950’s and 1960’s and have reached the end of their useful life. The mains are also undersized per current industry standards. The new water mains will provide a more reliable water service and fire protection for the residents in the area.
