DISCUSSION The Public Works Agency's Water Resources Division staff monitors the condition of water main pipelines by assessing critical factors such as the history of breaks, pipe size, alignment, location, and system redundancy to determine replacement priorities. The water main on Glenwood Place has been identified for replacement (Exhibit 1). The improvements include new polyvinyl chloride (PVC) water main, fire hydrants, water services, appurtenances, asphalt concrete pavement, and traffic striping. Once completed, water service reliability and general service quality will improve significantly. In addition, the potential for disruption due to water main breaks will be substantially reduced.
