BOARD/COMMISSION REVIEW:
N/A
BACKGROUND:
The Rivermist forcemain conveys sanitary wastewater from the Rivermist lift station to the sanitary gravity sewer on Knoch Knolls Road. It consists of a 4-inch ductile iron pipe installed in 1987, serving 71 single-family homes in the subdivision. In 2022, the Water Utilities contracted with RJN Group to perform a condition assessment of the forcemain. The inspection revealed significant diameter restrictions and high-risk anomalies, indicating potential leaks. RJN's report recommended trenchless rehabilitation as one of the viable options.
In October 2025, Water Utilities issued Bid 25-299, Rivermist Forcemain Rehabilitation. The scope of work includes rehabilitation of approximately 475 feet of 4-inch ductile iron forcemain, along with associated site work and restoration.
