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 communities 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.
On June 26, 2019, an Informational Meeting was held with property owners who live within the Villages of Harrod and Lafayette to provide some general project information.
On July 11, 2019, the Village Councils of Harrod and Lafayette passed the necessary legislation to move forward with the East Regional Waterline Improvement Project.
Field survey work as well as some soil borings will begin as early as August 12th and continue through September. This preliminary engineering work is necessary for design and will be completed by Prime AE Group, Inc. and DLZ, Inc. A letter will be sent to all property owners within the project area.
On Tuesday, August 27th at 7 p.m. , the District will conduct another Informational Meeting for property owners along the waterline route who live outside the Villages of Harrod and Lafayette. This meeting will be held at Allen East School located at 9105 Harding Highway. A letter will be sent to these property owners.
