install the HDPE pipeline based on their experience with similar types of projects. On March 5 l ,<br />

ARB completed the insertion of the HDPE pipeline. <strong>District</strong> staff along with ARB has begun<br />

work to connect the HDPE pipeline to the existing pipelines on each side of Highway 24.<br />

Progress on the construction work has been good and staff expects to return the pipeline to<br />

service by the end of March, and restore the Chabot Road and Lake Temescal excavation sites by<br />

mid-April.<br />

Water service to customers in the affected pressure zones continues to be supplied through a<br />

secondary source. This source has limited capacity and can only meet customer demands through<br />

the end of March when water demands begin to increase. During the last week of February and<br />

into the first week of March, water demand in the affected pressure zones increased due to the<br />

dry and warm weather. Consequently, staff developed contingency plans in the event the supply<br />

through the secondary source was insufficient to meet customer demands. The recent wet and<br />

cooler weather has reduced demands in the affected pressure zones. No outreach to customers is<br />

needed at this time.<br />
