Stevens Ranch Water Main & ASR Pipeline Cathodic Replacement Project

Stevens Ranch Water Main Project

About the Project

This project will be comprised of two parts, with plan sheets being separated into two volumes. The Stevens Ranch Water Main Project will be volume I of II. This project will install approximately 16,600 linear feet of 16 to 24-inch water main from the intersection of Stevens Circle and Stevens Pkwy to Talley Road. The Stevens Ranch Water Main Project is necessary to improve the reliability of SAWS’ system and to provide service to the proposed Stevens Ranch Development.

When Will Work Occur?

Construction will begin in the 1 ^st quarter of 2026 with different starting and ending dates per segment that will be updated as construction proceeds. The total construction duration of the project is approximately 27-months with an estimated construction cost of approximately $17 million.

What to Expect

• Open cut installation of approximately 16,000 linear feet of 16 to 24-inch diameter ductile iron water main at various depths up to 15 feet.
• Trenchless installation of approximately 600 linear feet of 24-inch diameter ductile iron water main within a 42-inch steel casing at various depths up to 10 feet.
• Installation and tie-ins/shutdowns will require coordination with the landowners and customers in the project area.

ASR Pipeline Cathodic Replacement Project

About the Project

The ASR Pipeline Cathodic Replacement Project will be volume II of the two-part project. The Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) pipeline supplies water to SAWS customers along the eastern half of the city. It delivers water from H2Oaks to the Artesia, Seale, and Randolph pump stations. The pipeline also has the ability to send water back to H2Oaks for recharge into the ASR system. This project consists of replacing the cathodic protection system that protects ASR pipeline Segments 4, 5, and 6 – 47,116 linear feet of 60-inch, 25,163 linear feet of 42-inch, and 4,460 linear feet of 24-inch steel pipelines with an impressed current cathodic protection system. The improvements implemented under this project will protect the pipeline against corrosion and enhance the longevity of this pipeline.

When Will Work Occur?

Construction will begin in the 1 ^st quarter of 2026 with different starting and ending dates per segment that will be updated as construction proceeds. The total construction duration of the project is approximately 27-months with an estimated construction cost of approximately $17 million.

What to Expect

• Installation of three new cathodic protection rectifier stations.
• Installation of an AC mitigation system along a portion of ASR Pipeline Segment 5.
• Three deep well 10-inch diameter anode beds with depths up to 190 feet.
• Increased vehicular traffic, dust, and noise is anticipated in the vicinity during construction activities.
• Construction activities will be scheduled to minimize service disruptions to customers.
