Petaluma Boulevard South Water Main Replacement
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project involves installing approximately 1,500 feet of 8-inch polyvinyl chloride (PVC) water main to replace aging 4-inch cast iron water main on Petaluma Blvd. South between D Street and Mountain View Avenue.
Installation of this water main will improve the pressure for fire protection in the area, as well as the reliability of this piece of aging critical infrastructure which is nearing the end of its useful life.

This project ties into the Petaluma Boulevard South Road Diet project.

Traffic control and routing measures will be implemented to maintain through traffic in the area.
TIMELINE/PROJECT STATUS
