The replacement of deteriorated underground water distribution pipelines in a
narrow residential street is difficult at best, but to replace these pipelines in
an affluent neighborhood in La Jolla, California, on a mountain high street in
which the street and homes are slowly sliding downhill due to the movement of a
landslide is extremely challenging. This paper discusses the City of San Diego's
Desert View Drive project which showcases in-house creativity to meet the
challenges faced with stabilizing the movement of the street, designing the
installation of flexible water connections, obtaining agreements with private
property owners to install these devises to restore service to their property,
and developing project specifications to ensure that the construction work will
not jeopardize the integrity of the slope. This project spans a number of years
of evaluation, litigation, failed attempts to restore service and finally a
design and installation that restored service to this area.
