Bennett Street Water Line Replacement - UPDATE

Bennett Street Water Line Replacement Update, August 6th, 9:40 p.m.

The Bennett Street Water Main Replacement is complete and water service has been fully restored through the high-pressure water system in town.  The City thanks SECON’s crew and the Public Works’ crew for their long days’ work to ensure the community had water restored today.  The City also thanks Wrangell's residents and businesses for their continued cooperation through this community water project.

Bennett Street Water Line Replacement Update, August 6th, 6:45 p.m.:  

The completion of the Bennett Street Water Line Replacement is delayed due to complications during fusing of the pipe.

The construction crew is working to remedy the issue, which involves cutting and re-fusing the pipe.  Due to the time required for the re-fusion and effort, followed by the cooling-off period, we anticipate approximately another couple of hours before water service is fully restored.  We will update the project status as it changes from this announcement.
