The project will be the replacement of an already existing watermain on Fairmount Street from Leech Avenue to the south side of Gordon Drive. This will also include the replacement of sanitary sewer brick manholes, storm sewer, and streetlights. The street pavement as well as the sidewalks will all be replaced.
On May 19, 2025, the Fairmount Street Watermain Replacement Project was awarded to Bainbridge Construction, L.L.C. of Kingsley, Iowa, totaling $1.5 million.
The project is being done in preparation for the Iowa DOT Gordon Drive Viaduct and Bacon Creek Conduit Replacement Projects, which will require Fairmount Street to be used as a detour route during construction.
The work is expected to be completed by October 2025.
