Location:                         City of Monterey

Site:                                  Repair of 30″ Main

 

Situation:                        CA/AM Water Company of Chula Vista with an area office in Monterey discovered a leak in an existing 30″ supply main. In order to repair the single line they required a “back up” line to be in place prior to beginning the repair.

 

On the 6th of November the CA/AM Water Company from the Monterey area office was informed that they had a leak in an existing 30″ water main. The main had a static pressure of over 100 psi. The line was old and had numerous rusted areas finally causing the line to leak.

Arrangements were made to borrow a total of 250 feet in various lengths of 12″. Loaning the 12″ Portable Pipeline was made through the agreements within the Water Area Resource Network (WARN II) organization.

A call was made to EBMUD who made arrangements to bring 250′ of the 12″ Blue Portable Pipeline with all necessary accessories to connect the temporary line to the existing water main at both ends. The 12″ temporary line was placed above ground parallel to the primary 30″ pipeline. The temporary line was charged with water and on reserve inthe event of the 30″ line rupturing during repair.

Upon project completion CA/AM made arrangements to budget funds for additional lengths of 6″ and 12″. These two sizes makeup the majority of supply needed for their future emergency preparedness programs.
