Upgrades ongoing to Longview Drive water infrastructure in Lexington

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - Kentucky American Water announced this week that an infrastructure upgrade is ongoing in the Longview Drive area.

The project will replace 2,075 feet of aging 6-inch-diameter water main installed in the 1950s with new 8-inch-diameter ductile iron water main.

Work will occur daily 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

According to the water company, in areas where excavation is required, temporary surface restoration will be provided. Permanent restoration will be completed once the soil has settled, weather conditions permit and required paving permissions and limits have been received from local authorities.
