Over 1,000 miles of vinyl lined asbestos cement (AC) pipe were installed primarily in the northeast United States between 1968 and 1980. In early 1980, it was discovered that the vinyl lining was leaching tetrachloroethylene (PCE), a reported carcinogen, into the water distribution system. Although initial investigations indicated that it would ultimately disappear, this PCE problem is still prevalent in several communities throughout the northeast. In 2001, Metcalf & Eddy and the Sandwich Water District conducted a lining trial, which determined that relining factory produced vinyl lined AC water mains with rapid-setting polymeric lining material could prevent PCE from entering the water supply. The detailed results of this trial were published in the June 2002 issue of the Journal of the New England Water Works Association. This paper expands on the lining trial to include the planning, design, and construction of the 8,500 linear foot vinyl lined AC water main relining project recently completed for the Sandwich Water District. The project included development of a "same day return to service" procedure for newly lined water mains to eliminate the need for overland bypass piping, a successful public notification program, and a stringent quality assurance program to ensure a successful lining job. Although bypass piping was ultimately provided by the contractor, the procedures developed for the same day return to service procedure contributed to a very successful lining project. Post construction sample results have confirmed that the recently applied rapid-setting polymeric lining material has successfully eliminated the leaching of PCE into the water supply over the entire project site. This has allowed the Sandwich Water District to permanently shutdown four continuous flow bleeders resulting in daily water savings of approximately 22,000 gallons. Includes 5 references, figures.
