Marietta Water outlines $2.2 million water-main replacement in St. Mary’s and St. Anne’s
Summary
Marietta Water said it will replace roughly 10,000 feet of 6- and 8-inch water main in St. Mary’s and St. Anne’s neighborhoods, at an investment of about $2,200,000 and with work expected to continue until late June; the utility said customers should expect improved pressure and reliability once complete.
A Marietta Water representative described a planned replacement of roughly 10,000 feet of aging 6-inch and 8-inch water main running through the St. Mary’s and St. Anne’s neighborhoods.
"By replacing the water mains, our customers can rely on when they go to the faucet, water is going to be there," the presenter said, noting the project addresses mains that are nearing the end of their life cycle.
City presenters characterized the investment as "pretty close to almost $2,200,000" and said work is expected to continue until late June, after which residents may see higher water pressure and improved volume. The new mains will be installed in the public right-of-way, paralleling the existing lines.
The presentation emphasized long-term reliability gains: the speaker said the replacement will support decades of service from the upgraded infrastructure.
No construction schedules for specific street closures or temporary service interruptions were provided during the session; the speaker said customers may notice pressure changes once work is complete and encouraged residents to watch city announcements for detailed staging and interruption notices.
