Project Description
The Oakridge Water System Improvements project strengthened the City’s water infrastructure by expanding system capacity, improving reliability, and supporting long-term community needs. The project included construction of a new well house, accessory piping, and a comprehensive water transmission system upgrade.
Key improvements included a new 700-gallon-per-minute pump station, a 1.0-million-gallon bolted steel epoxy-coated water storage reservoir, and a new access road. The project also included installation of approximately 1,100 linear feet of 10-inch C900 PVC transmission main, including a 180-foot cased bore beneath an existing railroad alignment, as well as a 400-foot High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) transmission main installed beneath Salmon Creek using a trenchless bored crossing.
Additional upgrades included two new pressure reducing valve stations to improve system control and operational efficiency. These improvements provide the City with a more resilient and dependable water system to serve current and future needs.
