The city provides water service to approximately 9,000 residents of the Leisure World community. The purpose of this project is to improve the flow of water to these residents. This project will not only improve water pressure for Leisure World, but will also ensure that there will be no interruption in service if a water main break were to occur. Prior to bidding, these multiple projects were compiled into one large project. The Leisure World Connection from Seal Beach Boulevard at the Northeast comer of Leisure World project consists of constructing a 12-inch watermain connection in Beverly Manor Road that will increase' fire flow capacity, and provide redundant delivery of water to Leisure World. The Leisure World Connection from Seal Beach Boulevard at the Southeast comer of Leisure World Agenda Item..1{ e e e project increases the capacity of the existing connection.
