The Carnelian Force Main Valve project includes force main bypass valves on the existing 24" diameter Carnelian Force Main within the Carnelian Main Sewer Station and repair the section of force main damaged by a contractor in September 2009. Bypassing the existing force main will be required prior to construction utilizing approximately 4,700 feet of temporary pipeline.
