Pineview pipeline crossing
Discussed
Public Services Executive Director Justin Anderson said work to replace the main pipeline from the well field to the 23rd Street Reservoir across Pineview Reservoir begins the following week. A 24-inch temporary bypass will require a 24 to 30 hour shutdown of the current 36-inch line, likely before the end of September, possibly affecting Ogden Canyon residents. Two new lines will be installed, a 48-inch pipe and a roughly 31 to 32-inch pipe pulled through the existing line, creating redundancy not possible for 55 years. Crews would work six days a week, 20 to 24 hours a day, with completion expected by January 1 and incentives for early finish. A 1970 Bureau of Reclamation agreement was updated to allow two pipelines. Anderson said Ogden city residents would see no disruption.
- Schedule: complete by January 1
- Pipe: 48-inch HDPE plus a 31-32 inch line inside the existing 36-inch steel line
