Provide a summary of the project or program:
           Each Richland Waterworks District seeks to replace multiple water mains on several roads. They have broken the project into two years. In Year One, they are seeking $366,415 in P1 Cash Line of Credit. In Year Two they will be seeking $288,850. The System has seven areas that need addressing. The water mains on these roads need upgrading as they have had issues with low water pressure, due to the increase in man camps for Meta Data Site. Existing customers are experiencing low water pressure due to
the demand on the Delhi water system from the Man Camps serving the Data Center. Delhi Water System provides water to East
Richland Water Works District. One of the areas of improvements includes, LA 17 and LA 854, which has two master meters. LA
DHH has asked the water system to eliminate one of the master meters. This portion of the project will tie both of the lines
together, which will eliminate one of the meters. The remaining roads need excessive flushing to keep the water from being stagnant and struggle with low pressure on these roads. Stagnant water can cause a build up of iron, manganese, color, and cause low chlorine residuals. Low chlorine residuals can allow pathogens, germs, and bacteria in the system. The project will be construction an 8" water main at LA 17 & LA 854, a 3" dia. main at Collins Dr. and LA 854, and a 3" dia. main on McHand Road,
Weems Road, Dearman Road, Walker Road, and Section Road. In Year One's construction, the lines on LA 17 and LA 854, and Collins Dr. and LA 854 will be constructed. The costs include construction, planning, construction observation, environmental project administration, and legal. Year Two will replace water mains on McHand Rd., Weems Rd., Dearman Rd., Walker Rd. and Section Rd. The costs include construction, planning, construction observation, environmental project administration, and legal.
Construction Observation, Environmental, Project Administration, and Legal have all been included in the Equipment costs. Construction Observation should be included, as this project provides potable drinking water and fire protection services, which are vital to the health and safety of the public. Environmental has been included because the area is near Poverty Point, and a cultural study may be required.
