It is the intention of this program to assess the valves and hydrants within the City of Howell's water distribution system to determine their condition and to collect and record valve and hydrant attribute information to build an asset inventory and develop a valve and hydrant asset management program to guide future planning, maintenance, and improvement.
The qualified Contractor will be required to conduct a condition assessment and collect attribute data for all City distribution system valves and hydrants located within Quadrant 3.
