Nevada Irrigation District, Cascade Flume Replacement Project

Nevada Irrigation District

The Cascade Flume Replacement Project upgraded the Nevada Irrigation District’s Cascade System, which serves 20,000 residents in Nevada County, California, by replacing 30,000 lineal feet of deteriorated concrete bench flume and 3,400 lineal feet of 48-inch-diameter “Techite” (reinforced plastic mortar) pipe, improving system reliability and increasing capacity. This high profile project involved delivering a substantial quantity of pipe through Nevada City, a town of historic significance, and constructing temporary facilities on private property requiring sensitivity to public concerns.
