The purpose of this project is to establish and delineate the water pressure plane between the east and west pressure zones. This project will replace or rehabilitate broken valves along the pressure plane boundary and install pipe where a proper pressure zone cannot be established within the current water system. In order for our 5 elevated storage tanks to function properly, the pressure zones must be established to prevent water from moving across the zones.
