Document Description
OMWD operates an extensive network of steel and ductile iron pipelines throughout its service area. Many of these pipelines are protected from external corrosion by cathodic protection (CP) systems. As part of ongoing asset management and reliability efforts, staff has identified several CP system components that require replacement or repair to provide continued protection of critical infrastructure. The Project includes the replacement and repair of deteriorated or non-functional cathodic protection components at several locations within the District, including rectifier leads, header wires, sacrificial anodes, test stations, and other related equipment necessary to maintain and monitor cathodic protection for existing metallic pipelines.
