Notice of Upcoming Water Services Maintenance and Repair Projects

38th Avenue Water Storage Tank

• Project Number: 16WC0018
• Project Summary: The project is located between 38th Ave N. and 37th Ave. N. The project consists of the demolition of the existing water storage tank and the construction of a new 2.5 million gallon above ground water storage tank. Construction also includes almost 1,000 linear feet of 12” and 24” water main, a new fire hydrant, and 679 linear feet of stormwater infrastructure. Other miscellaneous site improvements such as a sidewalk and fencing are included in the project scope. Our contractor will attempt to minimize disruption to the community as much as possible. However, nearby residents will see an increase in truck traffic and may experience noise and dust associated with demolition and construction. Customers will be notified prior to any scheduled service interruption 24 hours in advance either in person or with a door hanger. Once the project is complete, the community will have new water reservoir providing improved water service, reduced risk of pressure surges (reduced potential for line breaks and water loss), and additional emergency storage.

• August 2025 Project Update: The new 38th Ave tank will be disinfected, filled with water, and begin serving the community in September 2025.
  The addition of a new 12 - inch water main in 38th Ave has extended the project completion date to March 2026. Here is a summary (by area) of additional key tasks to be completed before the anticipated project completion date.

Carl Seyfert Memorial Dr Water Main Improvements

• Project Numbers: 17WG0065
• Project Summary: This project will improve water pressure and water quality by connecting two dead-end water mains together. A new fire hydrant will also be installed.
