Old Kingston Pike Water Main Project

November 15, 2019 – Testing was completed successfully on the newly installed water main along Old Kingston Pike this past week and KUB Underground Construction crews have started connecting customer service lines to the new water main. KUB crews are working with customers on an individual basis to schedule each service tie-over, with some work occurring at night and in the early morning hours to accommodate customers’ needs.  Service line work will continue for the next 1-2 weeks. KUB crews plan to complete the water main installation along S. Forest Park Boulevard next week with testing and service line connections to occur in the days and weeks following. Road and lane closures will be implemented on S. Forest Park Boulevard as needed to facilitate this work. Access to businesses will be maintained. KUB contract paving crews are actively patching the excavation areas along Old Kingston Pike and Staub Street.  Water main replacement is scheduled to last through early January 2020 in this area. To minimize future disruptions in this area, KUB will follow the water main project with wastewater collection system upgrades in this same area starting in early January. Final paving and restoration will take place at the conclusion of the wastewater project.
