Potential Solutions: The project consists of the replacement of 10 miles of 6-inch diameter pipe with 8-inch diameter pipe (complying with Kern County Development Standards for fire protection). The pipeline begins at an existing tank and booster station near Brown Material Road and Highway 46 and proceeds northwest to Highway 33. The pipeline connection to Blackwell’s Corner begins at Section 30 and proceeds south to Highway 46. The existing casing and pipeline underneath Highway 46 has been replaced in the past 5 years and will not be replaced. Other project components include isolation valves that will be installed every mile and air release valves at any high points along the alignment. The pipeline would be installed with the recommended cover over the pipe, thereby complying with the California Waterworks Standards.The implementation of this project will greatly reduce the potential for pipeline breaks and leaks. Ultimately the project could save the District up to 8 acre-feet per year in water losses. More importantly, potential contamination of the distribution system is reduced thereby ensuring compliance with drinking water standards. Also, outages due to breakages will be less likely to occur resulting in better water service to the customers. Replacing the aging pipeline will maintain the existing intertie between the two water districts. - Pipeline replacement. Installation of rechlorination station.
