• Construct 215 LF of 6” water main along Power House Street connecting the new
water main on Back Street to the new water main along Foote Street.
• Construct 385 LF of 6” water main connecting the new water mains north of
Highway 120 to the new water mains south of Highway 120.
• Construction of new gate valves, pressure reducing valves and fire hydrants along
the new water mains, as needed.
