AT THE CONSTRUCTION MEETING IT WAS ANNOUNCED THAT THE COLLIER COUNTY WATER DEPARTMENT PERSONAL WERE ALLOWED TO ATTEND THE APPRECIATION LUNCH FOR THEM ON OCTOBER FIRST.
CAPRI RESIDENT MR. HOGUE WAS AT THE MEETING TO ASK ABOUT SOME CONCERNS THAT HE HAD WITH THE WATER PIPE INSTALLATION IN PHASE TWO. THE COUNTY CONSTRUCTION MEETING IS OPEN TO ALL RESIDENTS TO BRING THEIR QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS. IT IS EVERY THURSDAY AT 10:00 AM AT THE FIRE HOUSE.
A WATER LEAK APPEARED AT THE 6" ISOLATION VALVE FOR SAN JUAN AVE YESTERDAY. SINCE SAN JUAN WAS CONNECTED TO THE NEW WATER SYSTEM, ALSO YESTERDAY, THE VALVE WAS ISOLATED AND NOT WORRIED ABOUT.
THE TEMPORARY 10" WATER PIPE LAYING ON THE GROUND ACROSS THE BRIDGE WAS CONNECTED TODAY. ALL OF THE EXISTING 6" AND 8" WATER PIPES WERE EXPOSED ON BOTH THE NORTH AND SOUTH SIDE OF THE BRIDGE. THE 6" WATER PIPE IS THE FIRST TO BE CONNECTED, THIS ALLOWES THE WATER TO REMAIN ON TO THE RESIDENCES SOUTH OF THE BRIDGE THRU THE 8" EXISTING WATER PIPE.
THERE WERE TWO CREWS WORKING ON THIS, THE NORTH CREW EXPOSED THE 6" AC WATER PIPE AND REMOVED A COUPLING TO EXPOSE IT..
THE AC PIPE WAS DISPOSED OF PROPERLY AND PREPARED FOR RECONNECTION..
THE WATER VALVES AND PIPE CONNECTIONS WERE ASSEMBLED..
AND LOWERED INTO PLACE..
THE VALVE IS TO ALLOW THE 6" WATER PIPE TO SUPPLY WATER TO THE SOUTH END OF THE ISLAND WHILE THE 8" IS CONNECTED IN..
THE 6" WATER PIPE AND VALVE ARE CONNECTED THRU TWO 90* ELBOWS TO THE TEMPORARY ABOVE GROUND WATER PIPE..
THE NEW WATER PIPE IS CUT AND BOLTED INTO PLACE..
THE TEMPORARY WATER PIPE WILL ALLOW THE REMOVAL OF THE EXISTING 6" AND 8" WATER PIPES ON THE SIDE OF THE BRIDGE SO THE NEW 12" WATER PIPE CAN BE INSTALLED..
BEFORE THE WATER PIPE IS BURIED, A BRACE IS INSTALLED TO KEEP IT FROM BLOWING APART..
THE DIRT IS COMPACTED TO HELP IN HOLDING THE TEMPORARY WATER PIPE..
MEANWHILE, ON THE SOUTH SIDE, THE CREW HAS EXPOSED THE 6" EXISTING WATER PIPE AND IS PREPARING IT TO BE CUT..
A CUT IS MADE AND THE AREA IS CLEARED TO INSTALL THE WATER PIPE AND VALVES BETWEEN THE TEMPORARY WATER PIPE AND THE EXISTING 6" WATER PIPE..
AS WITH ALL OF THE WATER PIPE, VALVES AND COUPLINGS, CLOROX IS USED TO CLEAN THE MATERIAL..
EVERYTHING IS SCRUBBED..
THE 6" FITTINGS ARE INSTALLED IN PREPARATION FOR THE VALVES..
A SERIES OF VALVES ARE INSTALLED TO ISOLATE THE 10" TEMPORARY WATER PIPE, FEED THE EXISTING 6" AND 8" WATER PIPES DURING PHASE TWO CONSTRUCTION AND DISCONNECT THE 12" WATER PIPE WHEN PHASE TWO IS COMPLETED..
AFTER THE EXISTING 6" AND 8" WATER PIPES ON THE SIDE OF THE BRIDGE ARE REPLACED WITH A 12" NEW WATER PIPE, THE TEMPORARY 10" WATER PIPE WILL BE REMOVED..
A VENT AND FLUSH PIPE IS INSTALLED ON THE SOUTH SIDE TO HELP IN THE PRESSURIZING OF THE 10" TEMPORARY WATER PIPE.
