Campus Wide Pressurized Irrigation

The south expansion zone of the university is bounded by University Drive and Beacon Street on the north and south edges, and by Denver Avenue and Oakland Avenue on the east and west. All of the properties owned by the university in this zone are currently being irrigated with domestic water provided by Suez Water.

The initial scope included the installation of a pumping station and pressure irrigation main line along Belmont Drive, between S Vermont Av and Denver Av. Additional scope includes asphalt and concrete repair as well as providing lateral connections to this main for any new, or previously developed, university irrigation systems in the zone.

The initial scope is expanded to replace the existing gravity irrigation line between Rossi Mill head gate and the pump station on the north side of the SUB/SPEC with a pressurized system. This entails eliminating the existing pump station and installing a 2000 GPM pump station at the Rossi Mill head gate and upsizing the existing 12″ pipes to 18″.
