The primary activity consists of replacement of aging waterlines and related infrastructure components within Aurora's water system.

The anticipated deliverables include the physical replacement of waterlines, with expected outcomes of improved service quality and reduced main breaks for Aurora residents. No subawards are included in this assistance agreement, indicating that the City of Aurora will directly implement all project activities.
