Dear Mr. Hendricks:
Following a review of the above referenced plans and specifications, the following
comments are offered for your consideration:
PLANS:
General Comments
Change the proposed alignment of the 16 -inch water line from Station 0 +00 to
approximate Station 16 +50. Move the 16 -inch to the 8 -inch water line location
and eliminate the 8 -and 2 -inch water lines. The old 2 -inch line is abandoned.
The new 16 -inch water line only needs to be 42 inches deep. The existing 8 -inch
line is approximately eight to nine feet deep. Lay the 16 -inch water line on top of
existing 8 -inch water line.
2. Connect the existing irrigation system to the new 16 -inch water line as necessary.
3. Connect the fire hydrants to the new 16 -inch water line. New hydrants are to be
installed.

the new 16 -inch water line, or protect the new line.
