Background

The City of Benicia is a general law city located in Solano County. The City maintains an approximately 160 mile distribution system that includes water mains, valves, hydrants, over 10,000 water service lines, and 15 miles of raw water transmission line. The City of Benicia aims to reduce water loss within the distribution system. Detecting and repairing unknown leaks, or leaks that are not yet visible above the surface is vital to achieving this goal. In addition to reducing water loss, repairing undetected leaks improves system efficiency, supports preventative maintenance, and has positive safety and financial impacts as well, as it may prevent damage to property. The City is looking for a company that is thorough, detail oriented, and committed to helping achieve these goals.
