The Board is soliciting Bids for Directional Drilling Services from water mains in the street to customer’s residences (“Work”) within the Denver Water Service Area.  As part of service line replacement, Denver Water digs trenches which can impact large trees, customer’s porches, walls, and various building structures. Utilizing directional drilling services minimizes damage to customer property and reduces job completion time.
