Walnut Street Water and Sewer Rehabilitation Project (Phase 2)#
Purpose
Water and sewerlines in Walnut Street between Mountain and College avenues are some of the oldest in the city, dating back about 100 years. This project will replace these lines, along with some services, and address failing infrastructure that causes water quality concerns, low levels of fire protection and maintenance problems.
Utilities has scheduled the work to be done in phases in 2017 and 2018 to minimize impacts to local businesses, scheduled events and development in the Old Town area.
Surveyors, locators and various other crews gathering data and painting stripes and symbols in the roads and alleys will continue this work as data is gathered to complete design and construction plans.
