Attorney.
DISCUSSION
The Public Works Water Systems Maintenance Division performs a variety of maintenance and
repairs to City's water distribution system which consists of approximately 480 miles of water
mains, 6,000 distribution valves, 4,815 fire hydrants and other water related assets. System
disruptions, such as water main breaks or leaks, require street and/or sidewalk excavation.
Currently, staff rents the equipment necessary to patch street and sidewalks. Occasionally the
equipment is not available and staff is required to mix concrete manually. The concrete mixer
system will ensure the equipment to mix concrete is available when required allowing for a more
efficient and cost-effective way to perform trench repairs.
