This project includes replacement of the existing 12” forcemain under Forest Hill Blvd at the C-8 Canal with a 16” forcemain using a horizontal directional drilling process which eliminates the need to disrupt traffic patterns. Upsizing is necessary to accommodate increased demands. Additionally, the project includes replacement of the forcemain over the C-2 Canal adjacent to the Wanderer’s Club Golf Course. This aerial forcemain is being replaced due to age. This project is included in the approved Utility Department Capital Improvement Plan budget.
