WATER DISTRIBUTION

Kandiyohi's existing distribution system consists of approximately 15,000' of 1940's era cast iron pipe, and 1,300' of 1970's era ductile iron pipe.  Elevated levels of iron and manganese have caused significant buildup within the  water mains. These pipes have exceeded their serviceable life, resulting periodic breaks, water losses, and water quality issues. Further, the distribution system requires additional looping, which will correct stagnant water at dead ends, increase system pressure, and ultimately enhance water quality and system efficiency.

The City of Kandiyohi is seeking $5,777,000 to replace the existing cast iron and ductile water mains. The city also hopes to replace its aging valves and hydrants to ensure safe and reliable water supply.
