Diller Road Loop Waterline Improvement Project
This project will complete a 12" waterline loop on Diller Road between Eastown Road and Cole Street. A bid opening was held on January 31st and the bid for construction of this waterline project was awarded to Fenson Contracting, Inc. Construction began in early July 2024 and should last 6-8 weeks.
Indianbrook Waterline Replacement Project
The main purpose of this project is to replace aging, undersized waterlines in the older parts of the neighborhood, specifically near Agerter, Algonkin, Kiowa, Tillamook, Tolowa and Wapak Rd. and in most cases, relocating water mains to the front of the property, providing easier access for future maintenance. Property owners in some of the aforementioned areas may have signed a work agreement to allow for the relocation of their water service line from the backyard to the front yard. This project will also include the installation of fire hydrants in the older section as well as the addition of hydrants in chosen locations in the remainder of the neighborhood.
The current plan is for this project to be funded by the County District Fees currently being collected on the monthly water bill. Once this project is complete, water billing for the residents of Indianbrook will normalize and fall in line with other Allen Water District/County water customers.
**UPDATE** This project is nearly complete! Grading and seeding was completed this spring with final paving restoration to be completed late July/early August. The contractor will address any remaining restoration items in the Fall.
