$4 million water line expansion project approved In Alexander County, N.C.
The Alexander County Board of Commissioners approved a bid for the ARPA (American Rescue Plan Act) water line expansion project, which according to a news released published by the county, comes as great news for residents in the 12 areas of the county in which water lines will be installed.
R.J. Mozeley, Senior Project Manager for McGill Associates, said the water project has been in the planning stage for the past couple of years and is finally coming to fruition.
Commissioners approved the low bid from Bell Construction Company in the amount of $4,081,668, plus an additional $205,000 (5 percent) for construction contingency.
“We are excited to begin the construction phase of this water expansion project because it will benefit so many families who are in need of a quality, reliable water source,” said Marty Pennell, Chairman. “This project is not just an upgrade to our infrastructure — it’s a commitment to our citizens and our community.”
The project includes areas where an interest in water service has been expressed, utilizing ARPA funds allocated to Alexander County in 2021. Approximately 42,500 linear feet of water lines will be installed in the 12 project areas, including Stan-De-La Drive, Greene Street, Caldwell Pond Road/John Cline Road, Jenkins Moose Road, McAlpin Lane, Advent Church Road, Shepherd Court, Hefner Lane, Kirby Lackey Road/Glass Road, Shook Lane/Jimmy Shook Lane, and Hickory Hollow.
