Oak Street Main Replacement

What is TVWD doing?

TVWD will replace 1,900 feet of water main serving customers on SW Oak Street from 72nd to 80th Avenue. This water main replacement is being prioritized due to corrosion and prior leaks. The existing water main will be replaced with an 8-inch ductile iron water main. 

When finished, this project will improve the water system in this area, including reducing the need for future maintenance projects and emergency repairs.  This project is a $650,000 investment in the water system serving this area. 

A map of the project area is below. We appreciate your patience as we complete this water system improvement.

Construction Information

Construction is not yet scheduled. Timelines will be announced once set by permitting and staff availability. 

Keep in Touch

TVWD will make efforts to limit noise, dust, and other construction experiences for neighboring customers, though noise, dust, and other disruptions should still be expected throughout. Please send any construction feedback to Outreach@TVWD.org so we can improve our operations.

How does this affect me?

Water Service Disruptions

Once the new water main is installed, individual water services will be connected to the new line. Your water will be temporarily turned off for 60-90 minutes to connect your business to the new main. When the entire project is complete, TVWD will disconnect the original water main from the system. That process requires a service disruption of four to six hours.

Water service disruptions are scheduled in the middle of the day when most residents are away from home. It is TVWD's goal to minimize the water service disruption time for all customers. You will be notified at least 48 hours in advance when service disruptions are planned. 

Traffic Disruptions

Vehicular and pedestrian access within the project area will be limited during construction. Vehicles, heavy equipment and materials will be located in the work area and outside of work hours. 

General Construction Disruptions

Installing water system equipment requires digging underground, this is often very loud and generates significant dust and vibration.
