The 2012 Water Master Plan recommends construction of a large diameter water transmission main between 4th Avenue and Tudor Road along the A-C Street coupling. A new large diameter main will allow for wider use of the wells&#8217; production capacity along with providing a redundant feed to the airport, midtown, and downtown areas. Without the redundancy, a major water break on the east side of Anchorage could leave midtown and west Anchorage without water for a significant period of time. The new main is expected to meet the projected demands for this area of the city over the next twenty years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Seawolf Engineering Team, having been awarded this project by AWWU, agreed to complete the following deliverables by April 2013:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Review existing plans, studies, geotechnical data, a technical memoranda and record drawings;<\/li><li>Develop alternative analysis to develop a list of at least three feasible alternatives;<\/li><li>Identify all required agency permits, approvals or waivers for each of the alternatives;<\/li><li>Analyze other utility record drawings and grid sheets to determine utility conflicts with the alternative routes;<\/li><li>Review hydraulic modeling data and provide a recommendation on material and sizing of the pipe to be constructed;<\/li><li>Prepare a Conceptual Design Study Report (CDSR) that will include a recommended route alignment.
