Starting Monday, June 17, work will begin on the 2013 Water Main Freeway Crossings project.
This project involves the use of horizontal directional drilling rigs to drill under Highway 29 in three locations.
These new water mains will replace several existing aged, leaking, and undersized freeway crossings that exist today, and they will improve circulation within the water system.
