1. Adding an underground meter vault near well#8 on the existing water main in the park, including associated instrumentation for operational ease. 2. Adding a new water main between Bunker Lake Boulevard and 147th Terrace to complete the loop. The water main is anticipated to be installed on City owned property where Well No. 3 is located. Also, a new 1-inch service line is proposed to be installed off this line to the existing well house for priming the Well No. 3 pumps. 3. Re-design the water main in Town Center Drive south of Bunker Lake Boulevard and remove the water main in the open space easement to open this parcel up for future development. 4. Install a new 1-inch service line off Town Center Drive to the wellhouse building at Well No. 5 for pump priming purposes. 5. Modify the plans for the 24-inch raw water main on the trail north of Sunwood Drive to use open cut installation rather than Horizontal Directional Drilling(HDD),with the exception of under Sunwood Drive, which will still be HDD to avoid impacting the recently reconstructed street. 6. Include trenchless installation of the water main crossing Bunker Lake Boulevard at 143rd Avenue to avoid impacts to the recent improvements to Bunker Lake Boulevard. 7. The trunk water main under 143rd Avenue will now be fully installed via open cut trench installation followed up with full depth bituminous pavement replacement due to the age and condition of the existing pavement, and to avoid reconstructing one side of the street and overlaying the other,putting the two sides of the street on different maintenance schedules. To accommodate the construction traffic using 143rd Avenue for the WTP construction and to maintain access to adjacent commercial/industrial properties, phased pavement removal is anticipated to maintain a hard driving surface to the greatest extent possible during construction.
