Construction

Summer 2025

​Why is this project being done?

Due to a history of water main breaks, the existing 8" water main, installed during the 1960's, will be replaced with a new 12" water main, which will also be rerouted further from buildings to improve water flow to surrounding properties.

Work to be done

The work includes replacement of major portions​ of the existing water main, and in some areas new alignment and tie-ins and transferring service leads to the new water main.

Possible construction impacts

​Water interruptions

  • Generally, water service will be maintained with a few exceptions: (1) planned 6-8 hour interruptions when new mains are tied into existing ones which will be proceeded by notification by orange door hangers 24-hours prior, (2) brief 30 minute interruptions when services lines are transferred to the new main which will be preceded by 12-24 hour notice in person.  

  • Contractor will do their best to not interrupt business operations, however this will be a case-by-case business. Impacted businesses will be contacted by the project team on this issue. 


Costs and funding Sources

  • Ann Arbor water funds​
