The contractor building the new water storage tank on Smith Well Road began site work on Monday, March 20, which includes clearing of trees and preparing the site for construction.

Initial work will occur via the Webb Place entrance to the project. As the project develops in the coming weeks, work will also happen on Smith Well Road. Part of the project will be the reconstruction of Smith Well Road, including replacing the water main, sewer and drainage lines. Residents will receive advanced notice when work on Smith Well Road begins.

The new water storage tank adds redundancy to the water system. It will also allow for the needed rehabilitation of the Garrison Hill water tank in the next couple of years.
