Public Works Director Alfred H. Foxx today announced that the water infrastructure renewal work on Light Street between Baltimore Street and Lombard Street has been completed.

When a 20-inch water main broke on Light St. on July 16 it was decided that a proactive and fiscally responsible approach was best. Therefore a multi-block, total-main replacement was undertaken, rather than installing one section of new pipe onto a 19th century water line. A parallel, century-old, 10-inch main was also replaced while the street was opened, as well as a 12-inch main along Redwood Street. New large water service connections were also being installed.
