Situation
The 6-inch cast iron water main was built in the mid-1970s and constructed with bell-and-socket connections. In 2024, multiple leaks were reported on a segment of the water main that spanned 820 linear feet along Hurtes Island Drive and flanked by marshy areas from the north and south, severely impacting the area residential water supply.
In late October 2024, Charleston Water System contracted J. Fletcher Creamer & Son, Inc. (Creamer) to rehabilitate the aging water main using Primus Line® Rehab.
The work scope also included installing two new fire hydrants, two new gate valves and a 42-foot section of 6” ductile iron pipe.
