US Completes Potable Water Projects

National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) in US has completed a potable water project at a cost of $62.5m.

The project includes two 220ft water towers with a capacity to hold 2 million gallons of water and a mile-and-a-half of water lines, installation of a 8,360ft pipe, replacement of 3,800ft pipelines and cleaning of 2,115ft of pipelines.

The project is part of NNSA’s facilities and infrastructure recapitalisation programme to provide reliable long-term water supply in the nuclear safety complex.

The investment ensures drinking water and water for operational purposes, eliminating $25m maintenance costs associated with the potable water distribution system.
