Public Works is planning a major waterline replacement project along York Road, the site of frequent breaks in recent years. The first of three phases should begin by mid-September, between the Beltway and Ridgely Road, where crews are replacing the failing 12-inch line with a modern 24-inch diameter line. Construction will be done in tandem with the State Highway Administration's York Road Widening Project.

Public Works plans to build a two million-gallon, water storage tank on the site of Chapel Hill Elementary next year to service the Honeygo area. The elevated tank - it will be 125 feet tall and cost about $3.5 million - should provide "pressure equalization during high-demand periods and help maintain adequate pressure for fire protection" according to engineers. Plans also call for a chlorination tank as part of the project which will be finished in the spring of 2009.
