Project Purpose

To enhance service reliability and ensure a continuous supply of safe, clean drinking water, WSSC Water is replacing aging infrastructure in your community. This project will relocate/replace approximately 0.5 miles of water main ranging from 4 to 12 inches in diameter.

Project Schedule

Fall 2025 - Summer 2026

Project Status

Construction is just getting underway. Pipe work completion is estimated for late spring/summer 2026.

Some work will take place during the winter. Due to a restriction on above-ground pipes (bypass) in winter months, full work will begin in early spring 2026.

Please expect weekday work hours from 9 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. Work may occasionally extend beyond these hours to complete specific tasks. Final roadway paving/striping is anticipated to be completed in summer 2026, weather permitting​.

Winter Holiday Schedule

Construction will pause from December 24, 2025 to January 1, 2026, except for emergency work if needed. Crews will return after the break to continue planned activities.
