Jefferson Place Water Line Replacement
PROJECT UPDATE AUGUST 13, 2026
Phase 3 of the water main improvements on NW Adams Place is progressing well, with installation of the new water main now complete. Over the next several days, water service will be transferred from the temporary system to the new water main.
Paving of Adams Place is scheduled for late August and is expected to take one to two days. Residents will receive door hanger notifications at least 24 hours before paving operations begin. Paving will require a full closure of Adams Place, and on-street parking will not be permitted during construction activities.
The project’s fourth and final phase will then advance west along NW Delaware Avenue to the alley intersection between NW Shasta Place and NW Jefferson Place. Work in this area will include water main installation, service connections and roadway restoration.
The project remains on schedule to be completed by the end of September 2026. Thank you for your continued patience as we complete these important infrastructure improvements.
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.
