THE 24" <br />DIAMETER, REINFORCED CONCRETE PIPELINE WHICH DELIVERS THE <br />PRIMARY RAW WATER SOURCE, IS APPROXIMATELY 18 MILES IN LENGTH, <br />WAS INSTALLED IN THE EARLY 1960's, AND HAS A DELIVERY CAPACITY <br />OF 10.2 MGD. <br /> <br />IN ORDER TO MEET FUTURE DEMANDS, THIS PIPELINE WILL HAVE TO <br />BE UPGRADED.
