Murray Avenue Water Pipeline Replacement

The Murray Avenue Water Pipeline Replacement project, managed by the City of Gilroy, involves the installation of approximately 70 feet of eight-inch ductile iron pipeline in the public right-of-way at the intersection of Murray Avenue and Burke Drive. The scope of work includes abandoning an existing four-inch water pipeline in place, reconnecting the Burke Drive distribution main to an existing 12-inch pipeline, and utilizing open-cut methods to disconnect twelve service lines from the old four-inch pipeline and reconnect them to the 12-inch main. The project is located in Gilroy, California, within the 95020 zip code. This project is currently categorized as a forecast with a posted date of July 30, 2025, and falls under NAICS code 237110. It has been granted a statutory exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Public Resources Code Sections 21080.21 and 15282(k) because the pipeline replacement is less than one mile in length and meets current codes. Administrative filings and associated fees have been processed through the Santa Clara County Clerk-Recorder Office. Heath McMahon, the Utilities Director for the City of Gilroy, serves as the primary point of contact.
