Public works staff will be exercising water gate valves for <br />two weeks, starting August 4. During this time, about 1/3 of the city <br />will be completed. <br />Many of the city’s water main gate valves lie eight feet beneath the <br />surface of the street. Without exercising the gate valve regularly, it <br />can seize up, becoming inoperable. Sand or rocks can also fill the <br />access hole, preventing staff members from operating them in an <br />emergency. <br />The valves are strategically placed to isolate areas of the main in <br />case a main break or leak occurs. Without these valves in good <br />working condition, large areas of the system would have to be shut <br />down instead of isolating small segments of the water
