West Virginia American Water Announces 2023 Infrastructure Upgrade Projects in its Western Operating Area
HUNTINGTON, W. VA (May 18, 2023) – West Virginia American Water announced today the company is investing approximately $4.6 million to replace over 17,200 feet of water main in the company’s western operating area, which includes Cabell and Wayne counties. This investment will improve service reliability and water quality across the service area.
“It is important that we continue to invest each year to upgrade our infrastructure and pipeline systems throughout West Virginia,” said Anthony Treadway, construction manager for West Virginia American Water. “We are committed to providing safe and reliable water and wastewater services to our over 587,000 customers, and this investment in our infrastructure is a reflection of that commitment.”
In 2023, West Virginia American Water customers in the company’s western operating area will see several infrastructure upgrades including the replacement of 2,500 feet of 6-inch pipe on 9th Avenue and 1,910 feet of 6-inch and 2-inch pipe on Spring Valley Circle in Huntington.
West Virginia American Water invested over $82 million in infrastructure projects and capital upgrades across the state in 2022 to improve service reliability and water quality to hundreds of communities across the state. All existing and planned upgrades are available to the public on the company’s infrastructure upgrade map.
The health and safety of our employees, contractors and motorists is a top priority at West Virginia American Water. While construction is occurring motorists should use caution when driving in the construction areas and obey traffic signs, detour routes and flaggers.
Customers impacted by a main replacement project will be notified via a flyer about the project and any corresponding traffic changes or delays. The letter will include a local contact for questions. In addition, West Virginia American Water and the contractor(s) on the projects will provide updates as work occurs. These updates may be provided by informational door hangers as well as through West Virginia American Water’s customer notification system which contacts customers via phone, phone and text, or email based on customer preferences.
