Where we're working

Night crews are replacing 2,500 feet of Paradise Irrigation District’s “vintage” (from the 1950s) 12-inch steel pipeline along upper Clark Road. 

The work, which is projected for completion in about three months (weather permitting), will bring more reliable service to PID customers with new 12-inch C900 material for the main line.

The work closes Clark Road between 7 pm and 7 am Mondays through Thursdays. Although Clark is closed to through traffic, local residents are allowed access to their homes—but there may be delays while work is stopped to allow that access. Through traffic is being re-routed to Skyway and Pentz Road.

The project will be completed prior to the Town of Paradise repaving that area of Clark Road later this year. Much of PID’s main line was already targeted for a capital improvement replacement prior to the news of the town’s upcoming repaving. Doing the work now saves PID the cost of replacing the new paving later. 

The replaced main distribution line provides service to the laterals for homes located between Frankie Lane and Forest Service Road.

PID customers in the area will not have any water service interruptions until the main replacement is complete. Customers will receive notifications of a water interruption with a two-week and a follow-up 48-hour notice prior to the final lateral tie-in to the main distribution line.

The $2.132 million project is funded through FEMA as well as PID’s budgeted capital improvement funds. West Valley Construction won the contract for the project; it’s being managed by WaterWorks Engineering. PID staff work closely with both firms to coordinate the project.
