Mill Fire Water System Recovery Project
NCRP IRWM Prop 1 Round 2 (DWR)
Completed
During the Mill Fire, approximately 20 homes were lost in the Lincoln Heights neighborhood west of HWY 97. Debris removal operations further impacted the existing water mains. The fire burned hot enough to melt the City's recently installed composite water meters, some of them melting over the adjacent valves inhibiting the City's ability to stop water services. To facilitate homes to be rebuilt, a new and larger water main, along with new services and water meters will be installed in the City's right-of-way.

General Information
Project Description Narrative (1,000 character limit)
The project will install 1,100 feet of 6-inch PVC pipe, 19 water services and water meters, and a fire hydrant. The proposed project will replace the existing 2- and 4-inch steel water lines that have reached the end of their useful life, have a history of leaking, and run underneath homes on private property. The fire burned hot enough to melt the City's recently installed composite water meters, some of them melting over the adjacent valves inhibiting the City's ability to stop water services. These meters and water services will have to be replaced prior to reconstruction of the homes. During the Mill Fire, approximately 20 homes were lost in the Lincoln Heights neighborhood west of HWY 97. Debris removal operations may further impact the existing water mains. To facilitate homes to be rebuilt, the new water main line will be installed in the City's right-of-way.

Project Types
This project will provide infrastructure for firefighting.
This project improves water supply infrastructure for the disadvantaged community of Weed.
Water conservation will decrease the amount of water needed from spring water sources, which in turn will increase the amount of water that will naturally flow into the Shasta and Klamath Rivers. This will enhance and help conserve these sensitive habitats for salmonids and other endangered and threatened species.
This project will provide new water infrastructure to a neighborhood devastated by wildfire. Fire hydrants will be included. Additionally, the project will install a storm drain to protect against flood events.
