There were a couple of large main failures last week. On April 6, there was an event close
to where the break occurred on 9/11/2003. A huge line failed catastrophically around
noon. District forces isolated the main within 15-20 minutes of the break. The City of
Yorba Linda and Brea police also assisted. Val Verde Construction responded within an
hour and began repair. Another non-catastrophic break occurred at 7:00 p.m. on
Bastanchury between Prospect and Rose. Crews isolated it and began shut down. At 11:30
p.m., the system failed catastrophically. Damage was minimized by the actions already
taken. Staff is working on replacement of the pipeline. This is not a project identified in
the Five-Year Plan. Assistant General Manager Vecchiarelli reported staff is looking at a
16" diameter PVC pipe. Analysis is being done right now. Other districts are being asked
about their practices. Corrosion is not a problem with PVC. The plan will be brought to
the PEO Committee. The church was very cooperative in allowing the District to stockpile
the spoils in their overflow parking lot.
