Sheridan Northwest / Northwest Loop Water Project

These projects involved the planning, design, and construction of $6 million in improvements to this water system which included a one-million-gallon tank, pump station, six pressure reducing valve stations and seven miles of 12-, 16-, and 20-inch C905 PVC transmission main. This project created a new pressure zone and improved service to two other zones within this system as well as a growing area. It also looped around the northwest corner of Sheridan and connected to a major expanding commercial area on the north side which significantly improved water supply and fire flows. The pipeline route crossed a major slope stability area requiring a geotech investigation and the use of fusible PVC for stability and to avoid the possibility of pipe joint separation. Extensive planning and modeling were conducted to determine the improvements to best serve this developing area.
