Location: 

The Project was located in the City of West Sacramento’s Northeast Village neighborhood (Southport area within Linden Acres and the Linden Acres Subdivisions). The Project site was bounded by Linden Road to the north, Mojave Drive to the west, Trinity Way to the south and the proposed Liberty Residential Development to the south and east. 

This project also included the replacement of water mains in the Linden West Subdivision and installation of the remaining missing water meters in the City.  

Background: 

The Linden West subdivision was built in the early 1980. In this neighborhood, the alignment of the existing water distribution system lays directly in the front lawns of homes and the existing water mains are undersize (6”). Additionally, the pipe materials used for the design includes asbestos cement (AC) pipes.  

The Linden Acres subdivision (East) was built in the late 1940s and has large half-acre lots. In this area the existing water distribution system is welded steel and lays directly in the backyard of homes. 

Description or Scope: 

The work consisted of replacing the existing system with Polyvinyl Chloride Pressure pipes in the city owned roadway/right-of-way. The replacement of the water mains included approximately 11,000 linear feet of twelve (12) and eight (8) inch pipes with the addition of fire hydrants and service lines (laterals) to residents that will include new water meters. 

Project Benefits: 

The existing pipes are under sized and near the end of their useful life and will be abandoned in place. This will reduce the frequent maintenance of the existing water distribution system. The new water line will improve maintenance access by replacing the existing backyard water mains with new water mains in the City’s right-of-way and provide street access. The new water mains will improve water quality and hydraulic capacity for fire protection. 

The project has been successfully completed. The previously undersized and aging pipes have been abandoned in place, which will significantly reduce the frequent maintenance issues that affected the former water distribution system. The new water line, now located within the City’s right-of-way, replaces the old backyard mains and provides improved maintenance access and direct street access. In addition, the upgraded water mains are expected to enhance overall water quality and increase hydraulic capacity to better support fire protection services.
