Dumpsters to be Temporarily Relocated for Trash Service
A $1.28 million project to replace and improve water mains in the North Heights neighborhood begins this week with the mobilization process.
The North Heights Water Main Replacement Project (NHWMRP) was unanimously approved in June by city council. The project is funded with City of Amarillo (COA) water and sewer fund revenues.
The project contractor, Turkey Creek HDD, will begin the mobilization process in the alley between the 1200 Block of North Polk Street and Taylor Street. Water main replacements will continue south towards the 800 block of North Polk/Taylor streets.
The NHWMRP will replace existing two-inch water mains with new six-inch water mains in select locations to improve water service in the North Heights area.
The majority of the work will occur in alleys and some street crossings.
In preparation of the project, the COA Solid Waste Department will temporarily relocate dumpsters in affected alleys.
The project will impact traffic around the construction area. The contractor will minimize impact to the public as much as possible. Motorists are advised to please heed all traffic signs. For more information, go to: www.amarillo.gov/capital-projects-and-development/water-utilities-projects/
