The south expansion zone of the university is bound by University Drive and Beacon Street on the north and south edges, and by Denver Avenue and Oakland Avenue on the east and west. All of the properties owned by the University in this zone are currently being irrigated with domestic water provided by Veolia Water.
The scope includes the installation of a pumping station located at the University’s irrigation headgate near Big Jud’s, the addition of a pressurized irrigation main line along Belmont Drive, between Oakland Ave and Denver Ave, as well as asphalt and concrete repair and providing lateral connections to this main for any new, or previously developed, university irrigation systems in the zone.
The work also includes replacement of the existing gravity irrigation line between the Rossi Mill head gate and the pump station on the north side of the SUB/SPEC with a pressurized system. This entails eliminating the existing pump station and installing a 2000 GPM pump station at the Rossi Mill head gate location and upsizing the existing 12″ pipes to 18″.
