BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
The Rancho Del Oro (RDO) Transmission, a 24" concrete-mortar-lined and coated steel main, has been partially out of service since September 2021 due to a previous water main break. A temporary repair has been implemented, but the pipeline requires repair and rehabilitation to re-establish full service to the JP Steiger supply reservoir. The RDO Transmission main (Project) is a reservoir outlet feed to the City's largest pressure zone with the highest percentage of customer demand, making this a priority construction project for the City.
The Project includes using trenchless technology to minimize impacts to the public, reduce project costs, reduce construction time, and minimize traffic closures. The total length of water main rehabilitation extends 3,200 feet along Via Rancho Road and Rancho Del Oro Drive, starting from the existing JP Steiger reservoir, located across Via Rancho Road from El Camino High School, and ending at the Craven Road intersection with Rancho Del Oro Drive. The Project also includes valve installations, water service replacements, and appurtenance installations to facilitate construction and future operations. Construction is expected to last approximately six months, and work near El Camino High School will be limited to school summer recess to minimize impacts.
