Ardmore Waterline Replacement

Whitworth Water District No. 2 is replacing aging water mains and services on W Ardmore Dr. This work will improve system reliability and long-term service to local properties.

Project Need: The District has discovered multiple leaks over the past 5 years on 350 feet of existing 1960s steel water main in Ardmore Drive between 1520 W Ardmore and W Lawrence Drive. Replacing these pipes addresses those leaks, reduces District maintenance costs, and improves system reliability.

What to Expect:

Schedule

Work on W Ardmore Drive and W Lawrence Drive began September 28^th and project completion is anticipated in late October.

Water Outages

Localized temporary water service interruptions are expected during construction. These will be short-duration, and we are making every effort to minimize their frequency and duration. Notice (via door hangers) will be provided in advance of planned service impacts.

Roadway/Access Impacts

• Temporary road closures or detours may occur.
• Driveways may be blocked for short periods.

For planned blockages, we will notify residents in advance (via door hanger), so that you may plan ahead to park outside the active construction zone.

Surface Impacts

The majority of the project impacts the existing road surface.  However, small portions of work may disturb private surface improvements located within the public rights of way or easements.  We are making every effort to minimize disruption and restore these improvements as closely as possible to their original condition.  Additional details are provided below.

Surface Impacts and Restoration: 

Hardscape (includes driveways, retaining walls, and fencing)

We will repair or replace impacted hard surfaces (concrete, asphalt, gravel).

Lawn, Vegetation, and Tree Removals & Restoration

Disturbed lawns will be restored with sod or seed. Property owners will be responsible for watering and maintenance after installation.

We will preserve landscaping where possible. If removal is necessary, the ground will be restored, but plant replacement will be the property owner’s responsibility.

Sprinkler Systems

Damaged sprinkler lines or heads will be repaired. If issues are noticed after construction, please contact us and we will address them promptly.
