Body
BACKGROUND: The Robinson Waterline Replacement project (WA0195) was expected to replace approximately 5,300 feet of deteriorated 24-inch waterline along Robinson generally between 36th Avenue NW and 24th Avenue NW. This cast iron waterline was constructed in the early 1970's and has had numerous leaks resulting in significant loss of water and damage to the overlying or adjacent roadway. Repairs to this large diameter water line are very expensive, time consuming for Norman Utilities Authority (NUA) and Norman Public Works staff and are disruptive to traffic in the area as repairs are completed.
Alan Plummer and Associates, Inc.

The location of the proposed Phase 1 improvements is shown on the attached Location Map.
