Valve Replacement and Insertion

When water main breaks occur, valves are used to turn off the water so repairs can be made. If the valves closest to the break are inoperable, other valves must be closed, necessitating the interruption of water service to additional customers. To reduce the likelihood of this occurring, the CWLP  distribution system has been surveyed to determine where older valves should be replaced and where the installation of additional valves would enhance system control.
