Project Title:
Richmond Westover 8" Water Main Replacement
Project Description:
The project will replace all old lines connecting to Westover Avenue and including Westover. The project includes approximately 9,600 linear feet of 8” PVC and replaces all the old 6” Cast Iron and 2” Galvanized Iron pipe. The lines in the Westover area are aging and problematic. 40% of the waterline breaks occur in this area. Replacement of approximately 9,600 linear feet of aging and problematic 8" and 6" water line in the westover avenue area of Richmond. 40% of the waterline breaks occur in this area. 8” and 6” cast iron and 2” galvanized iron pipe will be replaced with 8” lines. Current piping is undersized. To enhance flow characteristics of the system in support of water quality maintenance and to meet current demands, the lines need to be upgraded. Streets affected are Westover Avenue, Kentucky Avenue, Locust Avenue, South Poplar Street, Letcher Avenue. Richmond is using a main break log as required by regulation. Plans and specs have not been submitted yet.
Need For Project:
Briefly describe how this project promotes public health or achieves and/or maintains compliance with the Clean Water Act or Safe Drinking Water Act:
.Replacement of the distribution lines is necessary to aid in maintaining compliance with water quality requirements related to disinfection residual. Tuburculation as well as internal and external corrosion of the aging iron lines is restricting flows and contributing to line breaks and leaks in this area. The lines are undersized to maintain adequate circulation in the system in order to reduce negative impacts of disinfection residual reductions.
Project Alternatives:
Alternate A:
Note: If project includes the construction of a new treatment plant or upgrade to existing plant, please explain regionalization options here.
.This is the currently proposed project including replacement of 9,300 linear feet of 8” water main and 300 linear feet of 6” water main. Dig and replace construction methods are anticipated with service reconnections, fire hydrant connections, and pavement replacement.
Alternate B:
.Rehabilitation of the existing lines by in-situ methods such as pipe bursting are proposed. This method would require multiple reconnections of service. The line would need to be exposed for valve replacement, access through heavy fittings such as Tee’s and Bends, and construction of access pits. Significant potential exists for the pipe bursting to create surface damage to streets that would require repair outside of the access locations. Dig and replace would be required where 2” Galvanized lines are

Green Infrastructure:
Green stormwater infrastructure includes a wide array of practices at multiple scales that manage wet weather and that maintains and restores natural hydrology by infiltrating, evapotranspiring and harvesting and using stormwater. On a regional scale, green infrastructure is the preservation and restoration of natural landscape features, such as forests, floodplains, and wetlands, coupled with policies such as infill and redevelopment that reduce overall imperviousness in a watershed. On the local scale, green infrastructure consists of site and neighborhood-specific practices, such as:
