Old Town Water Main Replacement Project


We're thrilled to share some exciting news about the upcoming Old Town Water Main Replacement Project, a significant initiative to enhance water infrastructure in our community.


Our team is currently in the design phase to replace and add water mains in both the Old Town area and the southwest region along Kost Road.


You may notice our field crews in the project area in the coming days and weeks. Their presence is part of the preparation for the upcoming construction phase. Rest assured, our top priority is to minimize disruptions and maintain access to properties throughout the entire process.


To facilitate a smooth workflow, some minor traffic control systems will be in place during the process. While these measures may cause small delays, please be assured that we are working diligently to minimize any inconvenience.


We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we undertake this essential project. Your support is valuable; together, we can build a stronger, more resilient Old Town.


We look forward to bringing you more updates soon!
