Effective communication and scheduling turned a pipeline construction project on a golf course into a win–win situation for the country club and the San Diego County Water Authority. The San Diego County Water Authority has nearly completed a 3.4‐mi (5.5‐km), 72‐in.‐ (1,830‐mm‐) diameter potable water pipeline and associated facilities in northwest San Diego County, Calif. The north county distribution pipeline project includes the pipeline, three flow‐control and metering facilities, a 1‐mil‐gal (0.004 × 10 6 –m 3 ) prestressed‐concrete regulating structure, and a chlorine contact tank. The pipeline parallels and crosses two 24‐in.‐ (610‐mm‐) diameter potable lines that serve 85 percent of the daily water supply to Oceanside, Calif. Construction began in March 1995 and concluded late in 1996.
