Investing for the Future
Louisville Water Co., the utility for Louisville, Ky., has announced that Phase I of the Eastern Parkway Project to install 2.2 miles of 42-in. spiral-welded steel pipe is complete. The three-phase project, which began in November 2016, will replace a total of more than 6 miles of water pipeline originally installed between 1923 and 1930.
The water main runs along a historic, heavily traveled road. To minimize environmental impacts and neighborhood disruptions, the utility opted to install the pipe using an installation method known as slip lining.
Phase III will begin in November 2018. Completing the project in phases during winter months, when water demand is lower and service can more easily be rerouted through other lines, will help ensure minimal impact to customers.
