Project Overview

Basics

CLEAN AND ABUNDANT WATER FOR HUMAN COMMUNITIES
Improve Drinking Water Quality and Water Related Infrastructure to Protect Public Health
Westhaven Community Services District, Water Loss Reduction Project

  • Address Climate Change and Extreme Event Effects, Impacts and Vulnerabilities
  • Ensure that Disadvantaged and Underrepresented Communities Benefit from Initiatives
  • Ensure Water Supply Reliability and Quality
  • Respect Local Autonomy and Local Knowledge in NCRP Planning and Implementation

NCRP IRWM Prop 84 Drought (DWR)
Completed
This project will install new water mains, shut-off valves, and fire hydrants to reduce water losses and increase water supply reliability to a point where the existing 2006 moratorium on new customers is lifted. The customers targeted for hook-ups when capacity is expanded have been previously identified as having inadequate or contaminated well water.

General Information

Project Description Narrative (1,000 character limit)
This project proposed to replace approximately half of the WCSD’s existing mains, which have outlived their service life, were improperly bedded when installed, and lack an adequate number of shut off valves to allow isolation of pipes for system repairs. In addition, the diameter of the mains was not suitable for fire protection, and the leaks posed a potential threat to system water quality by providing potential entry points where contaminants from outside the mains might enter the water mains post treatment. This project also proposed to install needed shut-off valves and fire hydrants when replacing the failing mains. It was estimated that this project could reduce the WCSD system losses by 25% of the current average loss rate, thus possibly reducing the average loss rate from its current value of 31% to a 23% loss rate.
