The project, awarded earlier this summer, 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 is occurring in alleyways and street crossings.
In preparation, the City of Amarillo Solid Waste Department is relocating dumpsters in affected alleys.
The project will affect 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 in the area.
