Agent Orange: Friendly fire that keeps on burning.

This is a lateral line that's 4.5 miles long and will serve six homes and a couple pasture taps. The largest portion of this line will be served with 2.5" pipes. The bores are using 3".

Line pressure will be somewhere in the neighborhood of 120 PSI, so I'm pretty sure we'll have good pressure and volume at our taps, even though they will put regulators to cut it back to 60 PSI when it enters our homes.

As you might surmise, it's sparsely populated out here. Good thing this is a federally funded project, or we'd never have a chance at decent water. A large part of the push for this is due to the fact that oil production in the 50s and 60s did very bad things to our groundwater. This will help alleviate that
