Neighborhood Waterline Rehab Presentation

Our water distribution system within the older subdivisions of Branson are showing signs of failure through multiple water leaks. Many of the existing water mains are operating beyond their standard life cycle. Along with the need to replace the existing mains comes the desire to upsize the water mains to provide better fire flow for protection of the residents. The presentation links below illustrate which subdivisions are in need of rehabilitation along with an estimated cost.

Water Pressure Reducing Valve or Regulator:

Where water pressure within a building exceeds 80 psi static, an approved water pressure reducing valve conforming to ASSE 1003 with strainer shall be installed (by the property owner’s plumbing contractor) to reduce the pressure in the building water distribution piping to 80 psi static or less. Exceptions to this requirement are service lines to sill cocks and outside hydrants, and main supply risers where pressure for the branch-lines is reduced to 80 psi or less at individual fixtures.
