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: Work has been completed on this important rehabilitation and fire flow improvement project.
