The city's water distribution system is a vast network of water mains, service lines, valves and fire hydrants which foster the conveyance of potable water for domestic and fire protection purposes. There are over 994 miles of water lines, including 24,000 valves, 62,000 service lines and 8,400 fire hydrants.

Proactive rehabilitation and replacement efforts minimize maintenance issues, emergency disruptions and assist with maintaining the integrity of the water distribution system. The project is part of an on-going proactive preventive maintenance effort to maintain the operational reliability of the city's water distribution system.
The project is needed to replace aging waterlines that have required excessive maintenance and reached their useful life.
