THE CREW IS FINISHING THE INSTALLATION OF THE 12" NEW WATER PIPE ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE BRIDGE..

THE AREA IS COVERED AND THE DIRT BARRIER IS INSTALLED..

THE FLUSHING CANNON IS TIED IN AND READY FOR THE FLUSHING..

ALL BOLTS ARE CHECKED FOR TIGHTNESS..

THERE IS A RUBBER GASKET IN THE SPLICE..

THE 12" STAINLESS STEEL STRAPS ARE DRILLED AND BOLTED IN PLACE..

THE FINISHED PRODUCT, ONLY THE BUBBLE WRAP HAS TO BE REMOVED..

AT THE START OF THIS LEG OF THE NEW WATER SYSTEM (NEAR ANTIGUA ST.), THE CREW REMOVES THE OLD FLUSHING CANNON AND CONNECTS THIS SECTION INTO THE WATER SYSTEM..

THIS WILL ALLOW FLUSHING AND PRESSURE TESTING.  A "PIG" IS PUT IN THE PIPE BEFORE IT IS INSTALLED, THIS "PIG" IS ABOUT THE SIZE OF THE PIPE AND WILL BE PUSHED THROUGH THE PIPE TO HELP CLEAN IT. IT WILL COME OUT AT THE FLUSHING CANNON AT THE BRIDGE..

THIS CREW ALSO INSTALLED A 6" TAP AT TARPON VILLAGE FOR FUTURE FIRE SPRINKLERS.
