The project is part of PWC's on-going maintenance program to re-condition sections of the water system, in order to ensure customers continue to receive quality and dependable water service.

Pipeline re-conditioning involves cleaning the interior of the water main and the application of a protective coating to prevent corrosion. Doing this results in improved water flows in the main, and more efficient operation of the system, assuring customers that water pressure their homes or business, as well as essential fire protection, will be maintained at all times.

During the project, it is necessary to temporarily take water mains out of service and PWC will connect residents and businesses along the route with a temporary water supply. Connections are made to customer's existing service line from temporary pipelines laid alongside the curbs on each side of the street. The temporary water service is connected to the PWC system; therefore, there should not be any change in the water quality.

In the project area, openings in the street pavement will allow access to the water main and to accommodate the bypass pipelines running across intersections and driveways. All openings will be covered when not in use and will be resurfaced as soon as possible after the project is finished. Every possible safety precaution will be taken and all work areas will be barricaded and marked to prevent injury. Residents can help by avoiding the work area as much as possible and cautioning others to watch their step.

If a problem should occur as a result of this work, residents can contact the PWC Water Resources Engineering Department at (910) 223-4730 during normal business hours. After normal hours, please call the emergency dispatch at 1-877-OUR-PWC1.
