Notification and Open House

The District’s Water Main Replacement Project started Monday, August 12th. The projects consist of installing over 4,900ft of new 8” Ductile Iron waterline, along with fire hydrants, new water services, meters and boxes. The project is expected to take approximately 2 ½ months to complete. The project will replace aging and undersized 4 inch and 6 inch water mains at the end of their useful lifecycle. By increasing the sizes to 8 inch, the District will be able to supply on an average of 500 gallons a minute more fire flow capabilities in the area.

The project location is on the North side of Lake Meridian. The District’s contractor KarVel Construction started Phase #1 of the project on Monday, August 12^th. Phase #1 began at the intersection of 144^th AVE SE and SE 262^nd Street. Water main construction will proceed West on SE 262^nd St, then South on 143^rd AVE SE, then West on SE 264^th St, then North on 142^nd AVE SE and end at SE 260^th Street.

As of right now, the contractor has completed laying the watermain southerly in 143^rd Ave SE down to the intersection of SE 264^th St. The contractor will not be working the week of August 19^th, resuming the morning of Monday, August 26^th at the intersection of 143^rd Ave SE and SE 264^th St., proceeding West on SE 264^th St, then North on 142^nd Ave SE until reaching the intersection of SE 260th St. A project map of this phase showing the route and schedule is also on the District’s website. Customers will be notified a day in advance before the construction reaches the street in front of your property. This will allow coordination and access to and from your house during the short construction window.
