Wastewater System
Project Name: Raising Valve and Manhole Covers
Atlanta’s water, wastewater and stormwater system includes more than 50,000 water system valves and wastewater and stormwater system manholes. Access to and positioning of these assets is critical for water and wastewater system maintenance and reliability, as well as vehicle operation on city streets.
In conjunction with Department of Public Works’ street and sidewalk improvements, and as a routine matter of uncovering access to linear assets, water line valves (and lids) and manhole covers must periodically be raised for continued operations and maintenance access to the distribution and collection systems.
The scope of this project includes:
• Repairing and replacing infrastructure associated with 6-inch, 8-inch and 12-inch valves
• Raising manhole and valve covers and associated asphalt and pavement
• Coordinating with Department of Public Works
Justification:
• Provides continuous access to critical water and wastewater infrastructure components
• Improves system reliability
• Provides cost savings associated with inter-departmental coordination on improvements
