City Council District 10

SAWS is replacing aging water lines that have a history of breaks in several neighborhoods as part of the 2025 Water Main Replacement Project 5 Oak Park Northwood Terrell Heights. These sites include: E Nottingham Drive, Northridge Drive, Shadylane, and Irvington Drive. Construction sites will involve both alleys and streets with each area noted on the map below. During the project, you may see lane closures, detours, or construction activity on nearby streets. At certain times, we may need to temporarily turn off water service while connecting new lines to the existing system. If service will be affected, we’ll notify customers in advance so that they may plan accordingly.

For questions regarding this project, please contact Byron Gipson at 210-233-2977 or [email protected].
