Water Main Replacement Project Set to Begin July 7, 2025
The City of Richmond is moving forward with a major water infrastructure upgrade to replace over 19,500 linear feet of aging waterlines throughout several neighborhoods. Construction is scheduled to begin July 7, 2025, and will be carried out by VF Anderson Construction.
This project is made possible through funding from the $5 million General Obligation Bonds voters approved in 2022.
