Polybutylene Service and Valve Replacements
CI 5688 & CI 5689
The project includes the replacement of aging water distribution valves, saddles, water meter boxes, and service lines, including implementation of traffic control measures, and all associated work necessary to complete the project.
Polybutylene was the standard material used for water service lines installed in the 1970’s. However, due to frequent leakage/breakage caused by age and the material used, these Polybutylene service lines are being replaced with new copper lines as part of an ongoing citywide program.
These valves are over 35 years old; most cannot be fully opened or closed, and in some cases are not operable at all. Replacing these valves will improve the operation of the water system and promote reliability in the event of an emergency repair.
