Lewis Avenue Water

Purpose: This project funds the design and construction of approximately 5,000 feet of a 12-inch water main in Lewis Avenue from Edmonston Drive to Halpine Road to replace the existing 8-inch water main. Included in this project is a small pilot program to replace old water meters. As meters age, they tend to under-register flow which results in less revenue. Replacing meters will increase revenue by accurately billing for water usage. This project was identified in the 1994 Pitometer Water System Report. This project improves fire flow as well as the reliability of water service to this watershed.

First Appeared in Rockville's Capital Improvement Program: Fiscal Year 1999.
