Description: The Alta Via/Monan Way Water Main Replacement Project replaces water lines in the Brookdale area that were destroyed in 2020 by the CZU Lightning Complex fire. The project installs high-strength, long-lasting iron pipe in place of polyethylene plastic that was consumed by the fire. Crews will install approximately 1,883 lineal feet of 6-inch water main and approximately 4,025 lineal feet of 8-inch main. The project also calls for replacement of associated fittings, valves and hydrants, as well as relocation or reconnection of 40 water connections.
Due to damaged caused by winter 2023 storms prior to the project, it will be necessary to build a retaining wall along Monan Way to stabilize the road. This will protect both resident access and the newly installed water main.
