Jefferson Place Water Line Replacement
PROJECT UPDATE JULY 28, 2026
Water utility work has advanced to NW Adams Place. Crews completed installation of the new water main and water services along NW Delaware Avenue, from NW Broadway Street to the intersection of Adams Place and Delaware Avenue, on July 24. Paving of this section of Delaware is planned the week of Aug. 4, 2026 and is expected to take one to two days. The roadway will be closed to parking and travel during paving operations and is expected to open to traffic by the evening on paving days. Residents will be notified 24 hours in advance of closure.
Crews expect to complete water main installation along Adams Place by mid-August. Once installation is complete, the new water main will be connected to the existing system, requiring a temporary water service interruption for nearby customers. Affected properties will receive notice at least 48 hours before any planned outage.
After crews complete the work on Adams Place, they will begin the final phase of the project on Delaware Avenue from the Adams Place intersection to the alley between NW Shasta Place and NW Jefferson Place.
The project remains on schedule for completion by the end of September.
The Jefferson Place Water Line Replacement Project will replace and upgrade aging and undersized water lines that are in need of repair to serve this area now and into the future. These water lines are generally undersized for the growing area and need to be brought to current standards. The project will:
- Replace old water lines before they fail
- Upgrade pipes to meet current standards
- Ensure reliable water service for decades
Location
Work will occur along NW Delaware Avenue between NW Shasta Place and NW Broadway Street, along Adams Place south of Delaware and down the alley between Shasta Place and Jefferson Place.
Estimated Schedule
Design – Fall 2025 through winter 2026
Construction – Summer 2026
What to Expect During Construction
Rolling closures are expected throughout the construction period. During daytime hours, construction activity may temporarily limit access on nearby roads and alleys.
Funding
This project is funded by water utility rates under the Water Capital Repair and Replacement Program.
