Projects

• CLTWater is planning to replace existing 2-inch galvanized steel pipe (GSP) water mains with new 2-inch, 6-inch, and 8-inch water mains within the areas listed below:
• Area includes:
• South Tryon Street (3000 to 3900 blocks)
• Bank Street (3000 block)
• Foster Avenue
• May Street (3100 block)
• Blairhill Road
• Ellenwood Place (3700 block)
• Construction may start in late 2018 or early 2019 and take an estimated 6 months to complete
• More than 5,000 linear feet of pipe will be replaced during the project.
• CLTWater will replace pipe under the road and road right-of-way that is past its useful life.
• Staff will notify affected customers of planned water outages 72-hours in advance.
• Any unplanned water outages are considered emergencies and will be repaired as soon as possible.
• Construction may cause temporary cloudy, discolored water or lower than usual pressure. If you experience this, please run cold water for up-to 15 minutes. If water doesn't clear, please call 311 and say or select 'water emergency' for assistance.
• Project includes restoration of affected sidewalks and roadways
• Typical construction zone is a few street blocks.
• Lane closures may be required daily in coordination with CDOT. 
• CLTWater works with CDOT and NCDOT to minimize traffic disruption.
• CDOT permitted road closures are posted on the CDOT's website.
• Updates will be posted on this website and NextDoor.

• In the effort to maintain quality service, CLTWater must occasionally replace water mains.
• Replacing pipes under the road right-of-way and service lines (between pipe under the street to water meter) reduce future leaks/repairs due to age.
• Project will enhance water quality and pressure.
