West Warwick - Cowesett Avenue

The Infrastructure Replacement Program IFR 2022 construction bid was awarded on October 27, 2022 and work started on April 17^th,2023. IFR 2022 was designed to continue the aggressive replacement of critical infrastructure for several high priority locations within the KCWA distribution system. This project generally involves the installation of water mains in the Town of West Warwick. This project is essential in providing enhanced water quality, increased pressure, fire protection, and resiliency for 100,000 people in the eight cities and towns we service. This project encompasses installing pipelines consisting of approximately 7,600 linear feet of 16-inch ductile iron pipe, 4,360 linear feet of 12-inch ductile iron pipe and 2,100 linear feet of 8-inch ductile iron pipe. Specifically, the project involves the replacement of 1887 vintage cast iron main along Cowesett Avenue and Main Street. While under the roadway, KCWA is simultaneously installing a separate high service line to loop several dead-end mains and reservice localized areas of historic low pressures in and around Carlson Circle.  A major component to this project, and the most critical, is the replacement and relocation of the water main at the intersection of Cowesett Avenue and Quaker Lane where there was gas infrastructure that was built on top of the water main.
