This document is the case study for the Rebuilding Paradise, CA. By utilizing the PolyFlex CTS portable water service lines, the city had water service again.

The rebuilding of Paradise, which was destroyed by the Camp Fire on November 8, 2018, focused on the rapid replacement of water service lines. The Paradise Irrigation Department utilized ADS PolyFlex CTS potable water service lines in diameters of 1”-2” (25-50 mm) because it is resistant to rot and corrosion, can be installed easily and meets industry specifications. The flexibility of ADS PolyFlex is very important because of the seismic movements in the area and it allows the installers to work around issues, such as rocks and other underground services.

With all of the rebuild in Paradise, there has been a lot of pressure on getting new water service to the buildings. The ease of installing ADS PolyFlex allows for service lines to be in place within an hour or two of the requests.

The product used for the projects was 315,000 (96,000 m) of 1”-2” (25-50 mm)
