Current Projects
WATER METER UPGRADES
(Current) We are currently in the process of changing out all water meters in McCreary County (over 7,000 connections). The new digital meters are more accurate and can be read remotely by radio transmission. They also indicate constant flow and unusual usage which will help our employees and customers to more quickly identify potential problems.
TANK REHABILITATION PROJECT
(Current) This project includes standard maintenance and small upgrades to three (3) of our existing water tanks: Stearns, Parkers Lake, and East 92. The project will also include a new altitude valve for the Stearns tank, along with other small structural upgrades, including replacing vents and ensuring security of safety ladders.
STEARNS/SMITHTOWN SANITARY SEWER EXPANSION PROJECT
(Current) This project will add 66,500 feet of sewer line in the Stearns and Smithtown area, adding over 300 new customers to the current sanitary sewer system.
EDA WASTEWATER IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT
(Current) This project will include replacing existing sewer lines and a lift station to serve the proposed expansion of a manufacturing facility. The project will also include improvements to the WWTP. Specifically, this project will include replacing an existing 100 GPM lift Station with a new 400 GPM lift Station, replacement of 2000 LF of 4" Force Main with 5900 LF of 8" Force Main, WWTP Screenings, Grit Removal, and Influent Pumps Replacement, WWTP Equalization System, and WWTP Sludge Dewatering Improvements.
