23-9360 DIST - 2024 Water Main, Valve and Fire Hydrant Improvements

Much of AWSD’s distribution system was installed over 50 years ago and selected components
have reached the end of their useful life and need to be replaced. This project will replace several
main line gate valves, fire hydrants, and main lines throughout the district. Objectives of the
project are as follows:

 Replace 22 gate valves (includes fire hydrant shut off valves). Replacement valves will
be 1½, 2, 4, and 6-inch mechanical joint (MJ) valves, left turn. Many of these valves are
on AC Pipe. Mega lug joint restraints may crush AC pipe and are not recommended for
valve replacements on AC pipe. Dresser fittings must be used when connecting to AC
Pipe.

 Replace 6 fire hydrants. Replacement fire hydrants will be 5 ¼” American AVK Series
2780, red color, open left.

 Install 1,106 LF of new 2-inch SDR21 or HDPE water main using open cut or boring
methods.

 Install 68 LF of new 4-inch C900

 Associated paving, patching, and concrete work.
