New Technology from Missouri American Water is Upgrading Water Main on Hanley Road
Dateline City:
ST. LOUIS
Relining process upgrades old pipe and reduces disruption in busy downtown Clayton
ST. LOUIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Starting tomorrow, (Thursday, October 8) Missouri American Water will
begin relining approximately 1,500 feet of a 20-inch diameter water main
on Hanley Road from about 200 feet north of Forsyth to about 50 feet
south of Forest Park Parkway. The pipe was originally installed in 1931.
Relining the water main is more efficient and less disruptive than a
traditional open cut water line replacement process. Crews from SAK in
O'Fallon, supported by Missouri American Water crews, will install the
new structural liner, which essentially replaces the old pipe. This
technology for upgrading water pipelines is relatively new to the St.
Louis area.
Missouri American Water will be working primarily in the southbound
lanes of Hanley Road during the process. Missouri American Water asks
drivers to please be cautious in this work zone.
The project is part of Missouri American Water’s proactive waterline
replacement program – a two-year, $100 million plus investment in
continued water service reliability.
“As a member of the Metro Water Infrastructure Partnership, this week
Missouri American Water supports the Value of Water Coalition’s ‘Imagine
a Day Without Water’ campaign at #StLNeedsWater and #ValueWater,” said
Frank Kartmann, President of Missouri American Water and the
Partnership. “This project is a good reminder that continually upgrading
our water system is important to maintaining reliable service – so we
don’t have to imagine days without water.”
