Take
care of what we have, fix what needs it, and plan for
the future! These words are pretty simple but convey
the essence of Helix's comprehensive Capital Improvement
Program.
In the 50-square-mile area served by Helix, there are
about 700 miles of pipes, 25 pump stations, 22 storage
tanks, and the 30-million-gallon underground Grossmont
Reservoir located under much of Harry Griffen Park in
La Mesa. All of the water for the Valley and other unincorporated
areas is treated and tested at the R.M. Levy Treatment
Plant in Lakeside.

Project Cost: $1,656,000
Project
Manager: Luis
Valdez
Description:
The Ball Pump Station Power Upgrade, WO 1795, consists
of modifications to the existing Ball Pump Station in

drivers for the two 600 horsepower pumps capable of
pumping 31,250 gallons per minute each. The Air Pollution
Control District permit for the existing diesel generators
expired in January 2011. The project involves installation
of electric motor drivers to replace the diesel drivers
for the pumps and associated structural, piping, electrical,
and instrumentation work. Construction duration including
electric motor procurement is estimated at 22 months.

Cast-Iron
Pipeline Replacement Program
The
District prepared a Cast-Iron Pipeline Replacement Master
Plan in 2005 that identified 64 miles of existing cast-iron
pipe in need of replacement. A 14-year program was developed
to replace approximately 5 miles of cast-iron pipeline
per year. Cast-iron pipe is susceptible to corrosion
and leaks, and the District has proactively been replacing
the cast-iron piping within the system with PVC pipe.
The new PVC pipelines reduce the property damage potential,
provide our customers with more reliable service and
better fire projection, and requires less maintenance
by District crews. The estimated cost of the Cast-Iron
Replacement Program is $85 million. During the first
six fiscal years, the District has replaced approximately
25 miles of cast-iron pipeline. This replacement has
been effective in reducing leaks in the system. As part
of the District's 2020 Capital Improvement Plan, the
Cast-Iron Replacement Program has been modified to replace
approximately 3 miles of cast-iron pipe per year with
completion in 2026.
