Agenda Item Summary:
Black and Veatch will evaluate and provide recommendations for improvements for two water main tunnels in Rapid City. These tunnels contain two of the City's primary water mains for connecting the east and west side of the City water system. These facilities were built in the 1950s and 1960s and need to be inspected to verify their current condition. Keeping these tunnels and mains in good operating condition is crucial for the City's water supply, and any damage to them could be challenging and expensive to repair. The project will involve accessing both tunnels to evaluate their condition and also inspect the pipes inside. After this evaluation, the project will consider options to repair, replace, or relocate the infrastructure. The goal is to find the most effective solutions to ensure a reliable water supply for Rapid City's future needs.
