ACTUAL COST: TBD
  • Replaces about 4,900 linear feet of water main line in downtown Hermiston with ductile iron pipe.

WHY IT’S NEEDED

Sections of this water distribution system were installed in the 1920s with steel pipe, some of the oldest pipe in the city water system. This project will eliminate failing, deteriorating and undersized lines, reduce repair work, and improve public safety.
