The City's Water & Sewer Utilities Department (Utilities Department) operates and maintains a potable water distribution system consisting of approximately 335 miles of distribution pipelines, 21 active groundwater wells, and seven storage tanks with a combined capacity of 28.8 million gallons. To maintain reliable service levels and meet customer expectations, the Utilities Department implements an ongoing infrastructure replacement program to replace aging components. This work requires excavation of roadways to access and replace underground water mains.

The Utilities Department also performs emergency repairs on aging water mains. These unplanned repairs may occur in areas with pavement preservation restrictions. In such cases, permanent pavement restoration must meet specific requirements from Public Works and may involve slurry seal, rubberized asphalt, or other specialized treatments beyond standard asphalt.
Given the volume of main replacement projects and the complexity of associated pavement work, the Utilities Department supplements Public Works resources by contracting with external paving contractors. These contractors help ensure that roadway surfaces are restored promptly and to high standards, minimizing disruption to vehicular and pedestrian traffic and reducing the overall impact to the public.
