Kentucky American Water Investing $900,000 in Owenton Water Infrastructure
Dateline City:
LEXINGTON, Ky.
Project Scheduled for Completion in Summer 2015
Kentucky American Water has announced that work will begin this month on
a significant water main replacement project in Owenton. The
approximately $900,000 project, part of the company’s ongoing investment
in water infrastructure, involves replacing water mains on South Main
Street and East Adair Street in Owenton. The effort will replace aging
pipe and assist with providing additional system redundancy, which
improves overall reliability of service.
The project is scheduled to be conducted in three phases. Water mains
along South Main Street from US 127 to Seminary Street are scheduled for
replacement starting in November 2014. Water mains along South Main
Street from Seminary Street to Bland Street are scheduled for
replacement starting in the Spring of 2015. Water mains on East Adair
Street from South Main Street to Horizon Circle are scheduled for
replacement starting in the Summer of 2015. Inclement weather could
impact the schedule of this major project.
Kentucky American Water invests approximately $20 million each year in
system and facility improvements in order to maintain high quality water
service for its customers. The water main replacement project in Owenton
is one example of this type of investment.
The company appreciates citizens’ and visitors’ patience and
understanding during this construction project, and asks that those
traveling through the area use caution in order to help maintain a safe
work zone for the construction crews as well as a safe environment for
other motorists and pedestrians.
