This program provides for replacing water mains in areas that experience rusty water problems. It also provides for installing larger distribution mains in areas that have 4 supply lines, transferring water services from 4 water mains in streets where larger water mains exist, and abandoning 4 water mains. Eliminating duplicate water mains, where possible, improves water flow and helps reduce rusty water. Installing larger distribution lines in areas that have a high concentration of 4 supply lines and less than desirable fire-fighting capacity (predominantly in the older areas of the community) provides larger supply quantities in relation to the current and proposed land uses, in accordance with the Land Use Policy Plan. This program may also include the replacement of leaking valves on larger water mains along major roadways where the complexity of the project encourages replacement by a contractor. Project is included City of Ames FY 2020-2025 CIP Page 96 As of September 6, 2023, no new information available
