The project provides the City with adequate drinking water supply and storage to enhance the resiliency of the water supply system and accommodate growth. Together these improvements provide the northern areas of Lincoln with safe and reliable drinking water. In addition, the metering station and 42-inch pipeline will also be used to serve a large portion of western Placer County when Placer County Water Agency’s future Ophir Water Treatment Plant and 60-inch pipeline is connected to the metering station.

DCCM provided program management, project management and design oversite services from inception through construction including developing project budgets, consultant selection (engineering and CM), preliminary design studies, environmental processing, project approvals, design oversight, bidding and award, SCADA, construction, and start-up.
