NOTICE OF HYDRANT OBSTRUCTION: Proposal for Private Water PLEASE CLEAR FOR IMMEDIATE ACCESS Service Line Replacement If you own a home with a long water service line, you may be facing leaks and deteriorated road conditions What is the District’s new program about? Long private water service lines (called “spaghetti lines”) pose problems for homeowners: XX Frequent and costly leak repairs. Typically found in older subdivisions, these pipes are often aging and prone to breakage. XX Costly private road repairs. These long pipes run under private roads—so when breaks occur, the homeowner must pay to repair and repave the private road. XX Poor pavement conditions. From repeated breaks and repairs on your private road. The District’s new program may help you resolve these problems before they reach a critical state and result in debilitating repair costs. How can this program help you? Project results: new water line, new smooth road Our program can help homeowners avoid costly repairs to their long private water lines and private roads. If you and all your neighbors choose to participate in the program, the District may: XX Install a new water main in your private road XX Run new water service lines to each property located in the private road (see illustration on back page of flyer). The new main and service lines will reduce your leak risk and make repairs more manageable. XX Repave the entire private road. Interested in participating?
