East Regional Waterline Improvement Project
This project was initiated through requests made by the Villages of Lafayette and Harrod to the Allen Water District to determine how to best serve these comunities with public water. The project consists of constructing a waterline with fire hydrants from Westminster to the Villages of Harrod and Lafayette serving all residents of both Harrod and Lafayette.
Formal public meetings are anticipated to be held sometime after the first of the year to present the estimated projects costs to residents. The District has delayed the public meetings in order to obtain a greater assurance from funding agencies as to the amount of grants/loans this project may be eligible to receive.
