Garland Ave. between 15th Street and Cato Springs Road, replacing approximately 2,200 linear feet of 6-inch Cast Iron and Ductile Iron waterline with 8-inch PVC. The second project (Task Order 2) is on Rolling Hills Dr. near Oaks Manor Dr., replacing approximately 1,000 linear feet of 6-inch Cast Iron Pipe with 8-inch PVC.

The South Garland Avenue waterline replacement is acquiring utility easements, then will bid in 2021.
