Project Overview
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.
Notifications will be sent to the public leading up to construction, which is set to take place in Summer 2025
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.
Costs and funding source
Ann Arbor water funds
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.
A project overview video (YouTube) is available.
Watermain work will take place at the entrances to the Westgate Shopping Center off Maple as well as in the parking lot.
