DISCUSSION The City of Arcadia’s Water Main Replacement Program is designed to replace aged and deteriorating water mains throughout the City’s water distribution system. The water main replacement project identified as a part of the Fiscal Year 2016-17 Capital Improvement Program included the replacement of the 10-inch water main on Camino Real Avenue between Second Avenue and Fourth Avenue. The 10-inch cast iron water main along Camino Real Avenue was installed in 1941. In recent years, Public Works Services Utilities service crews made several emergency repairs to the water main on Camino Real Avenue between Second Avenue and Fourth Avenue. The reason for so many emergency repairs is due to the age and material of the pipe.
