The City of Kent Service Department has recorded 17 total waterline breaks along the existing Middlebury Road watermain since the year 2000.  Recently, there has been an increase in frequency of breaks. The City’s Central Maintenance Department has been responding to the breaks.  Approximately 3,500 feet of water main replacement is proposed.  This project will tie into the new Middlebury/Cherry water main and continue northeast along Middlebury Road, terminating with a connection into the Longmere Drive watermain.  The new 8 inch ductile iron pipe will be wrapped in plastic to protect it from corrosive soils.

The existing Middlebury Road waterline is an 8-inch cast iron pipe constructed in the year 1960.
