The Knox Water Department completed the Brown Circle water line replacement project.
Water Superintendent Todd Gardner told the Knox Board of Public Works last week that the total cost of the project was just under $84,000. This included the installation of 1,440 feet of new six-inch ductile pipe to replace the much smaller galvanized water main that serviced the entire neighborhood. Three fire hydrants were also installed so the entire area is now able to receive adequate fire protection.
A total of 33 homes are now able to benefit from the upgrade in water service. Those homes were added a few at a time until the project was complete just a short time ago. The project began in April and concluded just last month.
Gardner told the board that the work was done using local contractors and water department staff. The project was completely funded by the water department.
