Construction of upgrades and improvements to the City of Brockton’s water transmission mains were financed by the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF). The DWSRF program is administered by the Massachusetts Clean Water Trust with joint funding from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Commonwealth. This project will include removing existing piping, fittings, valves, and manholes on the twin 24-inch water transmission mains and existing 12- and 6-inch interconnections and furnishing and installing new 24- and 20-inch Class 52 ductile iron piping, fittings, valves, and hydrants. It is imperative to rehabilitate the crossovers and transmission main gate valves so the City can continue to receive safe and reliable drinking water in the event of a future transmission main break. DWSRF programs operate around the country to provide states and communities the resources necessary to maintain and improve the infrastructure that protects our valuable water resources nationwide.
