CLEAN AND ABUNDANT WATER FOR HUMAN COMMUNITIES
Improve Drinking Water Quality and Water Related Infrastructure to Protect Public Health
The project will replace the aging vitrified clay pipes on California Street to reduce the amount of groundwater entering the sewer system thereby reducing the possibility of a pond overflow, the possibility of sanitary sewer overflows in the collection system, and the likelihood of the City violating their NPDES permit limit on discharges to the Salt River.
