Project Description
This project consists of replacement of existing water main piping and service lines around various parts of the Canal District in San Rafael. Once complete, 3,400 feet of 8-inch, 6-inch, and 4-inch welded steel pipe will replace asbestos cement pipe that was installed in the 1960's. Leak-prone plastic service lines will be replaced with more reliable copper services.
Benefits
Installation of new welded steel pipe and copper services will further fortify the Canal District's water infrastructure to ensure high quality drinking water for more residents of the community well into the future.
