Neighborhood Water Line Enhancement Projects Area 8
Asheville Water Resources has identified several areas for neighborhood water line replacements beginning in the spring of 2026.
Background
The scope of work for this project includes the installation of approximately 22,000 feet of ductile iron water line and related components, including new residential and commercial service connections.
The project is located in various neighborhoods and commercial corridors throughout the water service district. Project areas include:
- Euclid Parkway
- Avon Parkway
- Saint Charles Place
- Marlowe Drive
- Donna Drive
- Cross Place
- Greenlee Drive
- Wamboldt Ave
- Euclid Blvd
- Success Ave
- Lane Ave
- Inglewood Ave
- Meadow Brook Ave
- Dunn Street
- Clinton Ave
- Stewart Street
- Granada Street
- Cordova Street
- Moreview Drive
- Iris Street
- Forest Street
- Deanwood Circle
- Arbutus Road
- Merrimon Ave at Beaver Creek bridge.
The project will mostly replace existing problematic water lines; which have been identified as a need through a prioritization and master planning process, due to age, pipe failures and future water capacity needs.
Following an audit of the bids by City staff and the project engineers, TP Howard’s Plumbing Co. Inc. was selected as the lowest responsible, responsive bidder.
Total contract amount is $8,135,000.00.
Timeline
All water line work has been completed on both West and East Euclid Parkway, and testing is currently underway. Once testing is completed this month, the contractor will start transferring services on East Euclid Parkway and complete the final tie-ins by mid-to-late November. Paving will follow soon after the final tie-ins, weather permitting.
On Donna Dr and Marlowe Dr, the contractor is currently installing main lines and expects to complete that process by the end of October. Contractors will then begin installing service lines. Once those are installed, testing will begin, which should be completed by the end of November.
The project is experiencing schedule delays. The overall completion date has been revised, from fall 2027 to spring 2028.
