Fair Oaks Ranch to host open house for water main projects

An open house for Fair Oaks Ranch water main projects is scheduled for Aug. 13, with city staff inviting residents to learn more about scheduled projects.

The details

The open house will cover two water line projects, including the line at Willow Wind Drive and Red Bud Hill, and the line at Rolling Acres Trail.

According to fact sheets released by city staff, both lines have a history of main breaks. The Willow Wind Drive line has broken approximately 8-12 times since 2016, while the rolling acres trail main has broken four times since 2016.

Replacing the lines will reduce operational and maintenance costs to the city and help minimize disruptions to residents using water from those mains.

The two projects are planned in conjunction at a combined cost of around $1.63 million, paid for through Certificate of Obligation bond funds.

The open house will be held from 4-6 p.m. at the Fair Oaks Ranch Police Department, located at 7286 Dietz Elkhorn Road.
