Site work for a water / sewer project in Ketchikan, Alaska. Conceptual plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

Replace water mains in Roosevelt Drive and Romine Drive. 8" ductile iron water mains in Roosevelt Drive are deteriorated due to electrolytic corrosion and will be replaced with HDPE; 6" ductile iron mains in Romine Drive will be upgraded to 8" HDPE; and 8" HDPE will be run uphill to the water mains in Ravenwood, with a Pressure Reducing Vault located at its connection point at Romine Drive. This project will provide a looped system for Ravenwood, so that a system repair or other maintenance activity in the Roosevelt area will not terminate water availability in points downstream (e.g. Herring Cove). The project has been pre-approved for a $750,000 loan with $175,000 in principal forgiveness, and a USDA loan with opportunity for 60% grant funding was submitted in FY2023. This project is in included in the Ketchikan Gateway Borough FY 2023-2027 CIP.
