Maben Canal Phase IV Improvement Project
The Maben Canal Phase IV Improvement Project includes the encasement of open portions of an existing canal and the enlargement of an existing siphon. The canal is located on the backside of private properties, making access for maintenance difficult. The current section of the canal is undersized and does not meet downstream demands. A moratorium on new services is currently in effect. Roughly 600 feet of open canal will be converted into an 18-inch-diameter, buried pipe, and a 470-foot-long, 12-inch-diameter siphon will be replaced with a 24-inch PVC pipe to achieve the required flow capacity. A control valve and flow-measuring flume were added at the end of the project to provide control and measurement of flow. The project will provide uninterrupted service and will lift the moratorium to allow water service for new customers.
PROJECT CONSTRUCTION:
Construction of phase four on the Maben Canal is complete.
