The project consists of replacing failing and undersized infrastructure including waterlines, pumping facilities and water storage tanks. Additionally, the improvements will include an intertie to the Douglas County owned Zephyr Water Utility District water system to improve water supply reliability and redundancy. Projected O&M cost saving is reduction in water leak repairs.
