Water System Improvements Phase II

Summary:

Phase II of the Water System Improvements project completed the City of Delphi’s ability to adequately serve residents and Indiana Packers, a major pork supplier for the Indiana food industry. A lack of system redundancy did not allow the Utility to properly maintain crucial assets that included three water storage tanks and a booster station. By constructing a new water storage facility, booster station, and interconnecting watermain, the City was able to rehabilitate three existing water storage facilities, all while maintaining constant water service. GSC procurement allowed for value engineering and a collaborative effort between the Owner, Engineer, and Provider with a seamless transition from Phase I to Phase II.  Project savings are being spent to reconstruct undersized watermains that are at the end of their useful life.
