PIERRE — The Pierre City Commission has approved an engineering agreement for a water main upgrade project that could lead to further upgrades of the city’s water system. City Utilities Director Brad Palmer says the agreement is with A-E-Two-S who has worked with the city before on water projects including the drinking water treatment plant…
The project would connect two parallel water mains to allow for system redundancy. Palmer says federal money is a large part of the project’s funding…
Adding the water main loop to the system will likely open the door to additional water main replacement along Wells Avenue to prepare for the future…
Last spring, city crews in preparing for the Highway 34 loop project discovered badly deteriorating water main along Wells Avenue/Highway 34 from near the Women’s Prison to Harrison Avenue.
