Water Main Breaks: Repair Operations
In a span of two days, two water main breaks
occurred along Waldo Rood Blvd. The first was a
30" water main break; the second was a 36" line.
The total cost for repaving the road after both
breaks was approximately $328,000. During the
repairs, our staff was able to keep water flowing
to the homes and businesses in the surrounding
neighborhoods.
Regional Water System Transfers
In contrast with 2016, the Town conducted a number of
water transfers both into and out of the water system. The
water transfers by location and month are summarized in
the table. Also included in the summary is the test of the
Trinity Road Pump Station connection with Raleigh in early
April as it was a significant transfer.
For the first quarter of 2017, water
demand averaged 16.2 million
gallons per day (MGD), which was
0.5 MGD more than the same
period in 2016.
