Sustain/Repair Non-Potable Water Mains: The purpose of the project is to provide a new non-potable water distribution main in the Cadet Area and athletic fields area of the United States Air Force Academy. There are numerous asbestos cement (AC) non-potable water pipes in the area between Parade Loop and Academy Drive. These non-potable pipes serve as a source of water for irrigation of athletic fields and landscaped areas. These AC lines are in excess of 50 years old and have exceeded their useful service life. The AC water lines will be replaced with 8 to 12 inch high density polyethylene (HDPE) equivalent piping.
This project will provide new non-potable water main throughout the athletic fields to service the irrigation systems. The pipeline also serves as the interconnection between the pump station at Non-Potable Reservoir #3 and Non-Potable Reservoir #4. There will be two separate nodes that are serviced from the existing non-potable water line along Parade Loop, see Attachment 1. The new southern non-potable water line will service the irrigation system for Stillman Field. The new northern non-potable water line will consist of a large loop that services the irrigation systems in the athletic fields between Road 210 and Academy Drive.
