The project proposed to upgrade the existing fire main associated with the Regency Oaks Apartment complex. The complex was originally constructed in 1971 and was served by a single water main connection along 34th Street with no directly available connection along Archer Rd. In the intervening 45+ years, 34th St was widened, the water main along 34th Street was upgraded, the fire flows were increased, which led to upgrading the fire main in this existing apartment complex. With the installation of 1,000 ft of fire main, new fire rated meter and backflow preventer, removal of bottlenecks, and interconnections with the existing water distribution system, the replacement system provides substantially improved fire flows for increased safety.
