Rainbow to conduct pilot project test for cured-in-place lining

The Rainbow Municipal Water District will be conducting a test of cured-in-place lining for water transmission pipe.

A 4-0 Rainbow board vote Oct. 27, with Helene Brazier not able to participate in the meeting, approved the professional services agreement with Sanexen Water, Inc., for $74,800 and appropriated that amount from the water capital fund for the project's budget.

"This is a pilot project," said Rainbow General Manager Tom Kennedy.

"We think this one has a really great potential," Kennedy said. "We can test and validate that the system works."
