Burrel Elementary School Water System Improvement Project

The Burrel Elementary School Water System Improvement Project, solicitation number E202510000342, involves the replacement and upgrade of the water infrastructure at an elementary school in Riverdale, Fresno County. The project is necessitated by severe piping corrosion caused by excessive chlorination, which led to lead dissolving into the water system, as well as the lack of a backup power source and secondary water supply. The system currently serves approximately 175 students and staff. The scope of work includes replacing 1,310 linear feet of three-inch PVC pipe below grade, along with 15 linear feet of two-inch and 10 linear feet of three-inch galvanized steel pipes above grade. Additional deliverables include the installation of a secondary water supply well on school property, a backup generator, a 900-gallon hydropneumatic bladder tank, well site chlorination equipment shade covers, and various valves and appurtenances. The project is located at 16704 S Jameson Avenue and is certified as exempt from CEQA under Class 2 and Class 3 categorical exemptions. The Burrel Union Elementary School District is the approving agency, with Self Help Enterprises designated as the agency carrying out the project.
