The Airport Pressure Zone is presently fed from a single 8" line tapped off the 12" transmission main from Chino Valley which is located approximately 5,000 feet to the west. The new South Side Runway Loop project will consist of installing a 12" water main from the existing 12" main in Melville Road around the south end of the airport runway and connect to the existing 10" main on the northwest side of the runway. There is currently only one 8" feed to this system.

The new North Side Runway Loop project will install a 12" water main from the existing Airport Pump Station northward beyond the proposed runway extension and connect to the existing 10" main on the northwest side of the runway. This will be a second feed to enhance the existing supply line to this system and service area.

Demerse Avenue Reconstruction: The purpose of the project is to reconstruct Demerse Avenue from Whetstine Avenue to Montebello Lane. The project includes new asphalt pavement, upgrade of the existing water system, installation of drainage improvements, and installation of pedestrian access improvements.

Spire Engineering, LLC is the contractor. Construction started on June 1, 2009, with installation of the water improvements being the first order of work. Construction of the water improvements is now complete. Storm drain construction is currently underway. Project completion was expected by the end of October, 2009 but completion will be delayed due to unforeseen utility conflicts. An old gas line has been found to be too shallow to allow for street construction. Relocation of the gas line is underway, delaying roadway construction in the area of the conflict. APS is currently relocating utility poles to accommodate the construction of handicap access ramps and street improvements.

Several activities continue on the Lowe's project site. Approximately 35-percent of the existing MSE walls and associated backfill material have been removed/excavated to include the installation of a PVC under drain pipe and the excavation of the keyway for the soil buttress. The structural installation of wing-walls on the existing box culvert is complete.

The subgrade and aggregate base coarse for the River Trail Roadway section realignment have been installed; a temporary 3/4-inch minus structural cap was placed over the roadway section to protect it from vehicular traffic loads and erosion and sediment control until the contractor can place asphaltic concrete over the roadway section. The new 8-inch water line and the new 12-inch sewer line have been installed and have passed the applicable biological and mechanical tests.
