City Council District 1

SAWS is replacing aging water lines (or pipes) in the North Central Neighborhood Association that have a high likelihood of breaking. Additionally, we are moving piping into the street and moving water meters to front curbs. We will try to minimize disturbances to customer property, but there may be a need to do some trenching that may affect sod, sidewalks, driveways, and curbs. If that is the case, SAWS will replace the affected areas.

Streets affected by construction: Cliffwood Dr., Redrock Dr., Weizmann St., Edgebrook Ln., Burwood Ln., Dawnview Ln., Buckeye Ave., Schmeltzer Ln., Gilbert Ln., Marchmont Ln., Westmoreland Dr., Rosehill Dr., and Olympia Dr.

January 23, 2025

Set to begin June 2025, this project replaces about 18,800 feet of water main – about the length of 25 Towers of the Americas!

Recently, residents in District 1 attended a meeting hosted by SAWS at the Westfall Library and discussed this project. Residents learned about the project timeline, process of construction, and what they should expect. Community members also spoke one-on-one with project engineers and asked questions related to their homes and traffic safety. District 1 councilwoman Sukh Kaur’s staff attended and gathered input.
