Civiltec Engineering is finalizing the design phase for the Chloride Domestic Water Improvement District’s (CDWID) on-call engineering services, focusing on essential water infrastructure improvements. This initiative, funded by an American Rescue Plan Act grant, aims to replace the entire water distribution network within the one-square-mile service area of Chloride, Arizona. Key components include installing a new dedicated supply line, a 50,000-gallon tank, a standpipe, and replacing water meters and fire hydrants.
Ben Townsend, PE, who recently assumed the role of project representative, has overseen significant progress in this project. Ben Tilman, PLS has prepared the detailed topographic surveys, aerial drone mapping, and comprehensive system evaluations. Civiltec’s design team, including Mark Myers and Raymond Buettner, has played a crucial role in this project, ensuring that the new infrastructure will meet the town’s needs and enhance water delivery reliability and efficiency. These efforts reflect Civiltec’s long-standing commitment to improving municipal water systems in the region.
One of the challenges faced during the design phase was coordinating with local utilities to ensure there were no conflicts with existing infrastructure. The team tackled this by conducting extensive utility surveys and maintaining open communication channels with utility providers, thereby mitigating potential issues before construction begins.

The upcoming construction phase promises to significantly elevate the quality of water infrastructure in Chloride, reflecting Civiltec’s dedication to providing high-quality engineering solutions tailored to community needs.
