12 .• <br />F. WATER TRANSMISSION AND <br />DISTRIBUTION LINES <br />F -1. South Columbia to manning Drive Phase II - Design of <br />approximately 5,000 feet of 24 -inch ductile iron water main <br />from the intersection of Cameron Avenue and Columbia Street to <br />the elevated storage tank near the hospital on Manning Drive. <br />The timing, scope, and route of this major project may be <br />modified by results of the distribution system analysis now <br />underway. <br />F -3. North Greensboro from Main Street in Carrboro to Estes Drive <br />Extension - Construction of approximately 3,000 feet of 12- <br />inch ductile iron water main will reinforce the distribution <br />system by paralleling the existing 6 -inch line. <br />F -6. Air ort Road from Stateside Drive to Rig sbee Mobile Home Park <br />- Construction of approximately 1,300 feet of 12 -inch ductile <br />iron main will reinforce the distribution system by providing <br />a service loop between existing lines in the 740 -fot pressure <br />district. Work to be coordinated with NCDOT wideninog of <br />Airport Road. <br />F -7. Estes Drive from East Franklin to 15 -501 ByRass - Construction <br />of approximately 3,100 feet of 16 -inch ductile iron main will <br />help optimize flows from the Manning Drive and Nunn Mountain <br />storage tanks to high demand service sectors. Associated <br />improvements will enable better control of excessive water <br />pressure at lower elevations in the distribution system. <br />F -10. U.S. 15 -501 South from Culbreth Road to Proposed Southern Tank <br />Site Near Star point -- Design and construction of approximately <br />12,000 feet of 12 -inch ductile iron transmission main to <br />provide improved fire flows and pressures in the southern <br />service area. In addition to serving the proposed storage <br />tank near Starpoint, this line will improve overall system <br />reliability by creating a major loop in the distribution <br />system. As with several other projects, timing and scope may <br />be modified per recommendations of the system analysis now <br />underway. <br />F -13. NC 54 East from Burning-Tree Drive to Laurel Hill Parkway - <br />Design and construction of approximately 4,600 feet of 12 -inch <br />ductile iron line will increase flows and pressure to areas <br />recently annexed by Chapel Hill and to projects underway near <br />the Friday Center. Additionally, this main will allow larger <br />water transfers between the OWASA and Durham systems during <br />periods of emergency need. <br />- 7 - <br />
