The old steel pipes are corroded and rusty causing leaks and discolored water to our customers. DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: To correct the problem of the discolored water and leaks in the old steel pipes, a Mainline Replacement Program was implemented to replace the old steel pipes. It was determined that the Pipeline Replacement Projects would start in the western zone of Colton where the steel pipes are over 50 years old. The City's Water Division has replaced 5,360 feet of 6" old steel pipe with 8" Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) pipe as well as adding new fire hydrants and appurtenances to the affected residents. Requests for Quotes were sent to National Water Works, Inland Water Works and Western Water Works for piping and appurtenances for Maryland Avenue, Ohio and Esperanza Street to replace 1,940 feet of the old steel pipes. Three (3) quotes were received and evaluated. Western Water Works is the lowest bidder for the piping and materials needed for the Pipeline Replacement Project.
