Fifth and Forbes Water Main Project to Continue in 2022

PWSA’s target date for completion of the Fifth and Forbes Water Main Replacement Project is May 2022. To date, crews have completed approximately 46% of the planned work on the project. This includes approximately 75% of the new water main installation. Service line replacement still remains in many portions of the project. Crews’ work throughout the winter months is weather-dependent.

Some Street and Sidewalk Restoration on Hold

Following a construction project, PWSA is responsible for restoring streets and sidewalks. This year, under the 2021 Surface Restoration Project, we restored more than 1,700 locations. This accounts for approximately 79% of the sites assigned to the contract. There are approximately 330 sites, however, that will be delayed until next spring due to cold weather. These sites will be prioritized when warm weather returns. Additionally, it is estimated that the project will accrue approximately 300 more locations from work performed over the winter months.
