The 2010 water main renewal season is now upon us. Water main renewals
involve replacing existing water mains with new ones to improve water flow
characteristics and to improve service to our customers. The following
projects are scheduled to be completed during the 2010 construction period,
April 15, 2010 - November 15, 2010. This schedule is
subject to change. Due to variables within the system, specific projects could
be postponed and others may be added.
Water mains on the renewal list usually meet 4 out of the 5 criteria
listed below.
|
1. Water Quality
2. Leak Frequency
3. Age and Type of Main
4. Municipal and M.D.O.T. Road Reconstruction
5. Critical Loop Feeds (Eliminating Dead Ends
Based on Flow Characteristics)

The Portland Water District has been serving Greater Portland communities
with Sebago Lake water for more than 100 years and upgrading and maintaining the
system since 1908. For the past several years, the Portland Water District has
invested roughly $2 million dollars a year in water main renewals. Since 1985,
reported leaks have been reduced by roughly 30 percent due to the effectiveness
of this program, even with the continued aging of existing water mains.
If you would like more information on the water main renewal projects please
contact Asset Management and Planning Group at
(207) 774-5961 extension 3043.
For more information on projects, visit The City of Portland's Web Site.
