Tennessee American Water announced
on Friday the start of a water main installation in the Brainerd area to
improve service reliability and increase flows for firefighting. The
approximately $120,000 project involves replacing pipe that dates back to the 1920's.
Starting the week of May 19, the company will replace more than 1,400 feet of two-inch galvanized pipe with new six-inch ductile iron pipe along South Saint Marks Avenue and Sunbeam Avenue. An additional fire hydrant will also be installed in the area for increased fire protection.
Construction crews will work weekdays between 7:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. Traffic disruptions are possible during construction, and motorists are asked to avoid the area.
Tennessee American Water expects to complete the pipe installation, service connection tie-ins and fire hydrant installation by the end of June, weather permitting.
The company will contact affected residents in advance regarding any
temporary service interruptions. For more information, contact Tennessee
American Water’s customer service center at 1-866-736-6420.
