Description: The Lyon & Big Steel Zone Pipeline Improvement Project replaces 12,000 feet of undersized water main, starting from Lyon Tank, located off Madrone Drive in Boulder Creek. The new pipeline will run down Highway 236 to Boulder Creek, where it will follow Lomond Street to Irwin Way, where it will connect to the District's backbone water distribution main.
The 12-inch pipeline, made of high-strength, long-lasting iron, will greatly improve the flow of water needed for firefighting and customer use. Additionally, the increased capacity will allow the District to move a greater volume of water from one end of the Valley to the other as needed to ensure a more reliable water supply for customers.
