A component of the District's Fire Flow Improvement Program, the Redwood Drive Pipeline Replacement Project will install about 4,300 feet of 6-inch, welded steel pipe to replace aging, leak-prone and fire flow-deficient piping in the Town of Ross.
The existing pipelines in this area were installed as early as 1914, making many portions of this infrastructure more than 100 years old.
| Construction Update (April 23, 2024): Work has begun on this important rehabilitation project. Crews are beginning water pipe installation. Please heed all construction-related traffic signage, and use caution when navigating construction zones. |
