Santiam Memorial Hospital
If the bid is approved by the council, the contractor will start construction on April 15 and the work will wrap up June 15, Kinney said.
Replacing the water mains will also fix some of the leaks and problem areas that had been identified in a February, 2008 study of the city’s entire water system by American Leak Detection, Kinney said. Main line and service line leaks occurred on Elwood Street.
“The water mains will also be sized to provide the level of service needed for Santiam Memorial Hospital’s expansion,” Kinney said.
The project is part of the city’s water facilities master plan, which recommended the city establish a leak detection program, start a water main and fire hydrant replacement program, replace water meters and upgrade water system design standards.
