RAUVILLE

Rauville Raw Water Transmission Pipeline - Watertown, SD

As part of the increasing demand for water, Belair Excavating received a contract to install a 24” water transmission main from the existing water treatment plant to the site of Watertown’s new Wellfield. A project totaling over 39,000 feet, crossing roads, streams and a mile of swamp land all within the 50 foot right of way. Despite the tough soil conditions and the record setting rain events that caused local flooding, Belair completed the work as scheduled.
