Project Description 

This District installed a 6-inch cast iron water main along Paradise Drive in 1939 to convey water into the Town of Tiburon and adjacent homeowners. On November 14, 2022, District staff responded to a main break across from the address at 4755 Paradise Drive and discovered that the 6-inch cast iron main had failed, causing the water to flow beneath the adjacent retaining wall, saturating the retaining wall embankment and damaging a portion of the road. The saturated embankment failed and slipped out downhill, exposing the retaining wall concrete foundation piers. The District entered into an emergency construction contract to avoid a substantial risk of loss or damage to the public welfare. 

Benefits

The emergency repair was necessary to prevent greater property damage, including but not limited to, further deterioration of the roadway and threat of another pipe break.
