It takes a lot of pipelines to get water to all of San Diego County’s nearly three-and-a-half-million people. This story is about large-diameter pipelines.
Three hundred eight miles of those big pipes run all through the county, delivering water to the San Diego County Water Authority and its 23 member agencies. So, it’s critical those pipelines are properly maintained.
“These large diameter pipelines are known in the industry as transmission pipelines. So they’re like the main arteries in your body,” said Martin Coghill.
